  • The nom images show glaciation (glaciers), not all forms of ice. Glaciers can only form on a solid base or land. Another image lower in the article [1] shows the extent of all ice including sea ice. The nom images were created in 2008, so it is "as of 2008" (not just 2008).

  • Janke, for all practical purposes Yes. Hudson Bay, Barents Sea, Kara Sea, North Sea aren't deep (100, 230, 130, 95m average) and global sea levels were 120m lower. My understanding is that they were part of their corresponding Continental glaciers. The image creator is active on Commons and can be pinged for details. His credentials are here.
