As glaciers melt the land underneath sinks?
Yes, when glaciers melt, they contribute to rising sea levels rather than causing the land underneath to sink. The weight of the ice depresses the land beneath, and when it melts, the land gradually rebounds over time in a process known as isostatic rebound.

How do glaciers affect earths surface?
When they slide or move across the land they pick up rocks and soil which changes the Ground beneath it.By glacial erosion which is when slowly over time large U shaped valleys are carved out; or by 'plucking' which is when rocks or boulders are literally plucked up from the surface and carried down the valley.Rocks frozen underneath glaciers carve the land when glaciers move
Why is Iceland called the 'land of the fire and ice'?
Iceland is known for having glaciers, but it is an island made from the continual eruptions of volcanos. About every 5 years, an eruption occurs adding to the land mass, creating geysers, and hot springs, and providing a great contrast with the glaciers nearby.
