That would amount to ice in an area that is 10 feet deep by 200 miles by 200 miles melting.

Not a very big chunk. Sounds really large but when you do the math it isn’t a big area at all.

I “did the math” on the “2 trillion tons of ice melt” article yesterday. 2 trillion tons represents about 0.0074% of the world’s landlocked ice. The claim also ignores any accretion elsewhere. lol!
