If it is geothermal, it ain't our fault ... right?

From the article;

"Water from the melted snow can penetrate cracks and the ice, lubricating the continent's ice sheets, sending them toward the ocean faster and raising sea levels, the scientists said."

I thought the ice caps were floaters ... and if so, I had to wait until the 7th grade for the water displacement experiment.

Calling all mathameticians !

The ARCTIC is cap is a floater. The ANTARCTIC icecap and the Greenland ice cap are up on land.

Nope. Antarctica is a regular run-of-the-mill continent with ice piled on top.
