While icebergs are "ice in the sea" they are formed from terrestrial glaciers. Ergo, they are not sea ice. Sea ice is formed from the freezing sea surface from water that is already part of the ocean. You're technically right in some way though: sea ice is highly reflective. When it melts the surface albedo changes and the ocean absorbs more heat, which does increase its volume and contributes to greater warming (see: ice-albedo feedback). |
