There is ice sitting ON TOP of iceland, not in the water. That ice that is not in the water is doing something that some other ice did just before it all slid into the ocean. According to Al Gore, when that Ice that is not yet in the water, slides off of Iceland and into the ocean, it will displace so much of the ocean that it will raise the sea level.

Has nothing to do with the volume of water.
Ok, that is something different then. I don't know much about that. I was just talking about the regular ice glaciers melting and why it would raise the sea level.
