If inland water that has been frozen migrates to the ocean or to ice that is floating on the ocean, then it could lift the ocean. By how much, is a different question. How can adding the water of a little spot of ice to an ocean whose area is tens of thousands of times that much, make such a dramatic impact?

Ice shelves are already floating, however.

Just about an hour ago I added four ice cubes to my glass of bourbon. They melted and my glass didn't over flow.

Imagine that!
