Sea levels would rise 200 feet if the ice from the land in the Arctic melted into the ocean. This is because the ice was not initially in the ocean. Unlike the ice that is already in the water because no water would be added into the ocean. Rising sea levels allows deeper and darker parts of the ocean to absorb more water creating warmer temperatures across the globe.

When the Ice caps melt this can lead to an increase of greenhouse gasses being released into the air from the melting of the permafrost these gasses being carbon dioxide and methane gas which will inturn heat up the earth making this cycle speed up.
When there is less ice in the arctic that means there is more water in the ocean, meaning when the polar ice caps melt the sea levels rise all over the world.

The Ice Caps started melting 10,000 years ago but they have melted more in the past 20 years than all of the other 10,000 combined.

Why is this important? The ice albedo helps keep the Earth cool. Since a cool Earth also tends to have more ice and snow, the ice albedo effect is an example of a positive (even if it says positive it's not good ) climate feedback. If an ice-covered area warms and the ice melts, the albedo decreases, more sunlight is absorbed, and the temperature tends to increase. So in other words, the ice melts which causes the water to get warm which causes the ice to melt.
