If all of the ice now stored in Antarctica's glaciers melted, what would happen?
◦ Icebergs would float to the equatorial regions of the earth where they would lower the temperature and cause the climate to become cooler.
◦ Sea water would become fresh enough to drink because glaciers are made of fresh water.
◦ Sea level would rise flooding many coastal cities.
◦ Because glacial melt water is less dense than sea water, the glacial melt will float on top of the ocean and not affect the land areas.
