Re: Antarctic Ice Shelf Vista

Stated condition - Ice floats because it's density is 90% of that of water; hence, we see tthe 10% as surface ice floating. My interest is that this accepted fact when ice sheet "calve" and melt the water level should lower levels close to 10%, not raise the level. I will give some credit ...
