we went over this a while back in another thread. ill give a basic recap: the ice caps are fresh water, floating in saltwater. so they are slightly more buoyant than if they were floating in regular freshwater. now anywhere from 8-15% of ice will be above the surface, waters expansion rate at freezing however is lower than that. so even tho it expands as it freezes, the amount of ice above the surface is what will really add to the ocean level
