there won't be any rise in sea level due to it.
Fig.1 Arctic sea ice volume anomaly from PIOMAS updated once a month. Daily Sea Ice volume anomalies for each day are computed relative to the 1979 to 2011 average for that day of the year. Tickmarks on time axis refer to 1st day of year. The trend for the period 1979- present is shown in blue. Shaded areas show one and two standard deviations from the trend. Error bars indicate the uncertainty of the monthly anomaly plotted once per year.

It would not take much of a drop for the arctic ocean to be essentialy ice free for a short time. We really don't know what effect that will have, but we are certainly going to find out.
