The floating ice island could become frozen in place over winter or escape into the waters between Greenland and Canada.

"We now know that there is relatively warm water beneath this floating ice, " observed Dr Dutrieux, "so this warm water could have been able to melt the base of the ice shelf.
“我們現在知道，這塊浮冰下面水溫相對較高，”杜特里奧博士觀察評論說，“所以這些溫暖海水可能會融化冰架的底部。

Since the total mass of the ocean and ice remains unchanged during the melting process, this has often led to the erroneous assumption that sea level will be unaffected by the melting of floating ice, say geologists David Holland and Adrian Jenkins.
