Hi
​
I have a question about the tabular icebergs that are breaking off of floating ice shelves around Antartica. Since these icebergs are so large, up to 1km in thickness, does the fact that they are breaking free implies that it will melt and the sea level will rise? Or maybe they are breaking free BECAUSE the sea level is rising. Tx in advance
