Explanation:

Icebergs are made of salt water. Icebergs float in salt water, but they are formed from freshwater glacial ice. ... Icebergs are already floating in the ocean, so melting will not raise sea level. Melting of land-based ice (such as glaciers) will raise sea level.

Note that the ice cube floats much higher in the saltwater than it would in a glass of freshwater because saltwater has a greater density. When the freshwater ice melts, it raises the water level. Freshwater is not as dense as saltwater; so the floating ice cube displaced less volume than it contributed once it melted.
