  • Warm water expands, so there will be some sea level rise from this.
  • Floating ice at the North Pole will melt, but will have little effect on sea levels, as the ice is already in the water. The ice is all fresh water, but frozen, and fresh water is less dense than salt water, so there will be a very slight rise.
  • All ice caps on land, including glaciers, Greenland and Antarctica will raise sea levels, as the water moves from land into the sea.
