I have been to Antarctica much of the ice there was bright blue due to the fact that over the centuries the weight of the forming ice squeezes the air out of the glacier it is amazing to see

If its that far down to ground level would it be under water if there was no ice on it and therefore not a continent at all but rather an underwater ridge or plateu?
