The Greenland Ice Sheet holds almost 3 million cubic kilometres of ice (684,00 cubic miles). If it all melted sea levels all over the world would rise by 7.2 metres (24 feet).

Greenland will also rise up, because of the great weight of ice removed. This is called isostatic rebound.

What if icebergs were to melt what would happen to the sea level?

Icebergs melting have no effect at all on sea levels. Ice bergs are floating ice. Floating ice displaces exactly the same volume of water as the ice itself will have when it melts, and therefore total volume does not change as ice melts. A simple experiment in your own kitchen will verify this fact.

Why does ice burg not melt with salt water all around?

Icebergs are made up of freshwater ice, which has a lower freezing point than seawater. The salt in the seawater reduces its freezing point, making it harder for the icebergs to melt. In addition, the dense, cold freshwater from the iceberg forms a protective layer around it, insulating it from the warmer seawater.
