Actually, my brief back of the envelope calculations suggest that
it would be more likely to be ~58 peta-miles (58 quadrillion miles).

I suspect the amount of ice is off by a bit as well but since I
don't think scientists have nailed down the thickness of Europa's
shell very well doing the calculation seems rather pointless.
