It's counterintuitive perhaps, but yes. The opposite also happened: during the Antarctic glaciation (build up of ice caps), globally sea levels dropped by 60 m, but in the Antarctic region the sea level rose with 150 meters [1]. Simply because of the huge gravitational pull towards the mass. Ice caps can be several kilometers high...by g=Gm/r^2 and being on a sphere the effect is quite local.
