Maps to show areas of the world which would be under sea water if all the Antarctic ice melts due to global warming.

These maps show how areas that the sea would cover if all the Antarctic ice eventually melts raising the sea level by 68 metres in total. If the Greenland ice melts, the sea will rise by 7 metres. The greatest risk is that the west part of the antarctic is breaking up which could cause a sea level rise of four meters by the end of the century which threatens to drown coastal towns.
