Original Note:
Icebergs displace the same amount of water comparable to their weight and buoyancy. Since Icebergs are fresh water and less dense than salt water, it will occupy more volume and raise the level slightly. The main contributor to rising sea levels is glacial melt on land. https://sealevel.nasa.gov/news/261/melting-ocean-ice-affects-sea-level-unlike-ice-cubes-in-a-glass/ https://www.britannica.com/science/Archimedes-principle
