The Arctic region is an ocean. Antarctica is land. When Arctic sea ice melts, will it affect sea level? What about when Antarctic ice melts? Experiment for yourself. Put an ice cube into a glass of water, and mark the level of the water. Does it change as the ice melts? Now put an ice cube onto a block resting in a container of water, and mark the level of the water. What happens to the water level as the ice melts? Test it for yourself!
