I think they are talking about the volume of ice/water on land that would melt and raise the sea level.

The Antarctic continent ice sheet is the largest volume followed by Greenland. If you were to add up the volume of ice in all the glaciers that is probably a large number.

Yes, but there is no land under the Arctic ice cap.

But the Antarctic ice sheet has been GROWING, not melting, and there isn’t enough ice in all of Greenland to raise the tides in Norfolk by 1.5 inches, let alone 1.5 feet. This is nonsense.
