I never said what broke off was a glacier. Technically, it was actually an ice shelf that broke off. When it breaks off it is then called an iceberg. However, I was commenting on the fact that the concern with sea level rises is land based ice (glaciers) and the expansion of water volume with increasing temperature. Your commenting on the wrong post. See post #45 for what you should have commented on.

From the Google Machine: "Satellite imagery provided by the British Antarctic Survey shows the iceberg wending its way through the Weddell Sea in the Southern Ocean throughout 2022 and 2023, pushed by currents and winds across thousands of kilometres. The mass of ice reached just beyond the Antarctic Peninsula in late November.Nov 27, 2023"
