As a general observation, it's not that useful to look at single gauges. As glaciers melt, the land nearby rises because of the lower weight on it, which shows up as the sea level going down. This is besides all other kinds of geological activity that might be going on in a particular location.
[edit] Anyway to be more specific, there's a single Antarctic glacier with enough water to cause 0.5 meters of sea level rise, and a recent measurement shows it will melt in "decades, possibly more than a century." https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-51097309 https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-51097309
