I was driving down I-95 recently and somehow I set my GPS to show elevation above sea level. I was amazed at how most of that highway would be under water if all the ice melted around the world. The sea level would rise 80 meters just in term of ice melt. More sea level rise would happen when the ocean is expanded through increased sea temperature rise after all the ice is gone.. http://geology.com/sea-level-rise/ this tool shows that most of I-95 would be deep underwater together with all the big east coast cities. It is amazing. This tool only goes up to 60 meters in sea level rise though.
