When you put water in the glass put the ice cube in mark were the water is, then when the ice cube has melted mark were the water level is and hay presto as if by magic the water level will be the same........

that icecube in glass argument only works because the ice is in already floating in water where as one of the polar icecaps is mostly sitting on top of a land mass. So sit your icecube in the glass on a lillypad and when it melts the water will rise.

That'll be down south - that ones on landmass.

that's why the water doesn't rise when the cube melts in the glass, but when cube is sitting on an island it will rise.
