The point is that when a solid is placed in water it displaces the liquid around it, albeit less so when it's a floating solid.
Thus, much of the liquid is already displaced, especially since most of the mass of a glacier is already under water, in addition to the fact that when water freezes, it increases in volume as well as decreasing in density.
This means that much of the rising ocean levels that scientists would predict has already

Glacial melt is a factor but the global warming alarmists make big press out of the breaking off of enormous ice shelves in antarctica as somehow causing the oceans to rise? They forget that the shelves already displaced(in volume) more than the melt will overcome. Hence the ice cube example Pooey.
