On melting of ice on the pole of the earth it's moment of inertia will?

Molten ice from poles goes into ocean and so mass is going away from axis of rotation. So, moment of inertia of earth increases and to conserve angular momentum, angular velocity (ω) decreases. So, time period of rotation increases (T = 2$\pi$/ω)
