"The vast majority of Antarctic "glacier" is actually an ice pack covering an open ocean."
Nope.
While some lazy "jernalysts" may refer to them incorrectly, most (not all) articles do correctly identify glaciers. Much of the intermingling of terms occurs in the discussion/argument phase after a report is issued.
Ocean/pack ice is saltwater, melting has little effect on water levels. Glaciers are freshwater over land, melting does effect water levels.
