Re: If Ross Ice Shelf melts, the Sea Level will rise by 15feet (bobbapink)

Duhhhh.
Prehaps when I stated 'the part underwater' I was wrong. I was looking at the nice piccys, taken from the boat. Maybe the edge is 100% in the water, except I thought Antartica was a huge landmass. I dont really know how much of it is actally standing on land? But I admit I was going by NASA's figures at the end of my second URL.
Any way it'll take a hundred years+ to melt all that.
