Yes. During the last Ice Age the weight of the ice caused the crust on which the northern part of Britain sits to sink slightly into the mantle. A 'see saw' effect tilted the southern part of Britain, which was not covered in a layer of ice, upwards slighhtly. Since the ice melted at the end of the last Ice Age the northern part of Britain has been slowly 'rebounding' and rising further above sea level while the reverse has been happening to the southern part of Britain, including the isle of Wight, which is in effect sinking.
