As ice is less dense that water and 9 tenths of an ice berg is below the surface of the sea then surely the icebergs melting will cause the sea levels to drop? Water is unusual as it actually expands when it turns to a solid. Therefore, the water frozen in an iceberg will displace more of the sea than if it was water.
