Is Arctic Sea ice growing? How much would the sea level rise if West Antarctica melted? What happened after the ice age ended? An ice cube floats in a glass of water. as the ice melts, what happens to the water level? Does melting ice cause sea level rise? Is the Arctic Ocean frozen?
If all of the Antarctic ice melted, sea levels around the world would rise about 61 meters (200 feet). But the average temperature in Antarctica is -37°C, so the ice there is in no danger of melting. In fact, in most parts of the continent it never gets above freezing. At the ot...
