Can someone explain to me how sea levels will rise as a result of melting ice, if the melted ice still has the same surface area as solid ice? Like Archimedes' Bath?

The ice in question is on land. It's melting and flowing into the ocean.

That would make sense, but then where does this statement come from?

> We know that today's sea level rise is about one-third the result of the warming of existing ocean water

It's talking about thermal expansion of the water itself.

As the water warms, it expands.

I think a better question is why do we not notice any sea level rise and decline between seasons if so much of it freezes and melts between seasons?
