The ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland both rest on land.

Be really cool to see what’s under all that ice, IMO.

True . . . and additionally, the weight over these land masses have depressed both so that much of it is below sea level, making it a perfect place to collect runoff in the unlikely event that both melt simultaneously.

However, said event is unlikely to happen given that it is summer in Antarctica when it is winter in Greenland and vice versa.

If they rest over land, how is it they are breaking free?
