If it melts, they'd all be northern coasts.

It's referencing the pole swap.

Since it's an archipelago underneath then most, if not all, of those islands would have a southern coast. The only way to not have a southern coast is to have the landmass directly on top of the pole, which could only happen for one island (if no ice is present)
