I joined this site after reading very insightful feedback as to the "rising sea level VS melting polar ice" theory that gets bantered around.

After reading a few posts I now understand the land based and water based iced masses and their effects. Funny, that I had to dig to really understand (this site helped).

So, my question is this............ given that the Artic (floating ice) and Antarctic/Greenland (land based ice)...hope I have this right???

What is the difference in sizes of the respective ice masses? ie. Covers a certain area, with a certain thickness??

I know a lot of people understand an issue much more clearly with visualization (me included). So, thought that some wise soul could help me understand.

Thanks for the assistance...
