Do you mean the "Greenland Ice Sheet", Lee? Greenland is not <em>made out</em> of ice, but <em>contains</em> a large sheet of ice in its interior. Greenland is populated by about fifty-six thousand people, Lee. That ice won't magically fall into the center of the earth. It's nice to debate you in a place where your itchy banning finger has no reach, Mr. Kington.

Antarctica is greatly depressed in the interior. With ground level at over 8500 feet below sea level a large portion of the 'water' would be contained on Antarctica in the form of a lake. Antarctica is home to the lowest elevation in the world that is not covered by an ocean. The same scenario is also true of Greenland.
