Post-glacial rebound (sometimes called continental rebound, glacial isostasy, glacial isostatic adjustment) is the rise of land masses that were depressed by the huge weight of ice sheets during the last glacial period, through a process known as isostasy.

Continents are large land masses that rise above an ocean. During Post-glacial rebound, these land masses rose after being depressed by huge ice sheets during the last glacial period. As the weight of the ice was gradually removed from the land, the land was slowly lifted and resurfaced.

Not all scientists agree on what causes the strands. There are three popular theories: post-glacial rebound is one, others believe it is from something impacting the earth and causing a crater, while others believe it is arcuate caused by tectonic activity.

I am here because i googled this same question, but i think i have a hypothesis of my own, which would be that yes it should stop eventually. There are vast areas of the Earth that have no area of isostatic activity - check out the wikipedia on post glacial rebound and there is a map that shows regions. I would imagine that this since this is an energy state issue , balancing with gravity, that the system would tend to settle as soon as possible. If we look at varying geologic areas effected by isostatic rebound it seems like they occur, in then remain static. iso static , a series of teeter-totter weights and balances, on the surface of the crust.
