If you think about it, ice is the solid of the chemical compound H20. When in its liquid form (water), H20 actually takes up less space than it would if it were ice. In fact, H20 is the only substance on all the earth that does expand when it freezes.
By that logic, the ice caps won't actually cause worldwide flooding.
