And the answer is that because ice is less dense than water, the
volume of the ice when it melts (into water) becomes exactly equal to
the volume under the waterline of the icecubes. This is in fact the
discovery that Archimedes made a few years back.

Displacement, but not with ice. He used water displacement to prove
that a piece of gold wasn't pure, by comparing its displacement to a
piece of pure gold of the same weight. The only other way would have
been to melt it down to measure the volume.
