A lot of the ice is on land, though. The Greenland and Antarctic Ice Caps

Also, the water expands as it gets warmer too as the ice sheets melt

lulz, Khan brings up a valid point and then some guy quotes him only to respond with an invalid one. Classic. The displacement is what the experiment shows, dude. The volume of that ice is equal to the volume of its water when melted. Thus, you will never overflow. Conservation of energy.

Water + Ice = Displacement

Displacement = volume of ice

volume of ice = volume of melted ice

Get it?
