An informative discussion about the melting of the polar ice caps.

These videos show the possible sea level rise in various locations around the world. The videos are from a variety of sources and do not all depict the same amount of sea level rise. It should also be noted that we, as of yet, do not know how far the sea could rise. Although if either Greenland or the West Antarctic Ice Shelf were to melt, either would rise ocean levels approximately 40 feet or 12.2 meters.
