Bzzzt, wrong. For the same mass, ice takes up more volume than liquid
water does, one of the few solids for which this is true.

Other (Relevant?) things...

A dejanews search tells me that the most common figure given for both
icecaps melting is a 60m rise.

Well, I think that what remains of Antarctica resembles the underground
base we see towards the middle of Nadia, after it has been hit with a 
huge explosion.

If so, and if the 2nd Impact was enough to blow away a large percentage of
Anarctica's bedrock, then the geothermal energy might be enough to keep
the southern icecap melted.
