One of the GIJoe movies ends with an underwater arctic base being crushed by ice that is dislodged from a bomb blast on the ice shelf above. Neat except ice doesn't sink. I'm sure there are all manner of inaccuracy in those movies but that one really stuck with me.
Seems like you clearly didn't follow the instructions to turn off your brain.
Ice sinks to a certain point. If being attached to the shelf was holding that ice up higher than it would float, it'll sink.
Don't know if the movie shows it sinking further than that though, but the general assertion that ice doesn't sink at all is definitely mistaken.
Lol it falls completely submerged to the bottom of the ocean.
Here it is at about the 2:10 mark.
