we are talking cubic miles of water, as ice is less dense than water 1 cubic mile of ice provides ) 0.98 cubic miles of water which is 59,803,149,606,297.75 litres of water.

estimates vary from 3 to 300 cubic miles of ice are lost each year and remember ice melts suddenly at 0 degr C so the loss at -0.1 C will be millions of times less than at +0.1 C.

Currentely Greenland is at the danger point as being -0.5C this summer! next summer it may be + and then you will see a huge amount of melting!
