melting icebergs don't rise sea level. Water is denser than ice, even if the iceberg melts, water just fills previously occupied space
Unless the ice rest on land, like in Antarctica, which the article points out.
If it rests on land, it's not an iceberg, is it?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
In most of Sweden (except the very south) the uplift is faster than the current projected sea rise.
But it can't be so for the long term, can it?, if projected sea rise is like over ten meters.

In 2009 a dock needed to lowered by 0.5 meters to keep up with the land rise.

As an example: 10k years ago during the last major ice age, Stockholm was 150 meters below the current sea level. The land is springy...

AFAIK there's not the same phenomena in Helsinki. Is it so much less springy across the gulf ?
