The worst case scenario for rising sea levels is about 68 meters. That is if all of the ice on Earth melted.

Humans in 18000BC: TOO MUCH LAND Humans in 2500AD: TOO MUCH WATER

Maldives after sea level increases 0.0001 Millimetre: HEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP

At 2400-2600 m of the falling sea levels, you can clearly see the new proposed 'Zeelandia' continent, which is buried underwater below New Zeeland, which means that New Zeeland is just a mountain range of the continent. Plus, it has every propriety of a normal continent too

Things I personally found interesting 1. Almost all of Netherlands will vanish from maps if sea level rises by just 3-5 metres. 2. By the end of it the only landmasses left were Tibetan plateau and Andes mountain range. 3. Australia was quick to join with Papua as soon as water level dropped a little making the ancient continent of Sahul 4. NZ got a huge chunk of land kinda showing the continent of Zelandia 5. A new significant landmass popped up in southern Indian ocean Kerguelean. 6. All the extra land acquired by island nations like Maldives, Seychelles, Fiji etc. 7. English channel got drained at around 40m and UK finally got connected with the mainland Europe (directly to France) 8. Sea level rise resulted in a small sea in the middle of Australia 9. The increase in sea level can be easily traced in South America as you can clearly see Amazon river starting to flood and expand. 10. By the end of sea level fall you see a land ridge in Indian ocean (west of Indonesia) which is basically the land that India left behind as it was moving from Africa to collide into Asia

Mega respect for the cameraman who went to space, filmed sea levels rising, and then came back in time to show us. Edit: I should not have gotten so many likes tf you guys on it’s not even that funny

-1680 would literally be so cool, Oceans not dried up, but so much more land

I love how Florida is one of the first pieces of land to vanish

It's pretty amazing that Africa still looks like Africa between -100m and +1000m. It seems that there is a very clear boundary between land and sea there.

0:10 Start: Sea Levels Rise 2:34 Everything is Under 4:08 Sea Levels Drop 6:19 Dry, the desert?

Very useful simulation. The important range is from -120 meters below the current sea level during ice ages to +80 meters above when all of the polar ice melts. Would have been nice if the simulation also illustrated the estimated ice cover over land as it changes with the sea level

netherlands : oh no i disappear at 10m maldives: *oh hello there*

0:24 if all the ice melted 1:16 if see levels rose by 10% 1:43 if see levels rose by 26.8% 1:59: if see levels rose by 50% 2:18: if see levels rose by 100% 2:36: if see levels rose by 200% 5:48: if see levels drop by a 100% Please take in consideration that in the video, several meters rose or drop in the same second, and as such, is impossible to pinpoint exactly the moment, the average see level is 3730m deep

This video has been viewed by many people and has been viewed more than 2 million times. Thank you for your continued support.

Set sail for ONE PIECE!

Reference points: 0:29 - water level increase 69 meters - level if all ice melts 4:33 - water level decrease of 130 meters - level during ice age 20,000 years ago

Water begins to rise Florida: I’m out

Fascinating how quickly the connection between Alaska and Russia appears even with a tiny drop in sea level forming the Beringia Land Bridge between North America and Eurasia.

The video is pretty cool, you should do another of this thing! It’s really satisfying! I like how Greenland survived really long! That was really cool!

Wow, this was both incredibly interesting and all around terrifying.

It's pretty interesting that Antartica is one of the last landmasses before the mountain ranges to get submerged. This is because with that Icesheet ontop of it, Antartica is actually the highest continet in the world with an average altitude of 2.5k meters. Which is also why it's interior is colder that the coast because of the altitude.

Please comment in your native language.

As someone on Vancouver island the fact that almost nothing happened to our part of the map for a while made me feel safe

The music you used is truly beautiful

I’ve wanted to see a simulation like this show the effect of falling sea levels for years. There were so many stupid discussions in my textbooks talking about all these mysteries of how civilization moved across continents and built all these cities and monuments that are underwater but I always said “Well when the earth was covered in ice during the last ice age, where do you think the ice came from? Think it just appeared? No the sea levels had to have gone down” and a map like this easily explains it.

In the movie waterworld, the plot revolved around finding the last piece of land in an oceanworld, The main character were around the New York area as shown during some underwater scenes. In the movie they found a small japanese island with long dead inhabitants. Looking at this map at 2:06 -2400 meters there is indeed a straight path from New York towards Japan at a northwest angle. I love it when movies include such detail!

This looks like the 1990's predictions of 2020. Interesting.

It would be great if, during upleveling, there are mentions or breaking steps (like : "Europe entirely submersived", "North and south Americas divided", "no more polynesian islands"...) and downleveling steps (like : "No more mediterranean see", "fusion between Australia and Asia", "Bridge appears between South America and Antartic", "Ceylan becomes peninsula...")

You gotta love how freaking massive Lake Superior is in northern Michigan. it's like one of the most outstanding land changes for miles around when the water is drained. Like a little indent in a flat plane

sea level : rises by barely any meters thailand and netherlands : we are drowning

caseoh enters a body of water:

Brilliant! Thanks. It would be great if we could see each region a little bit larger.

1:43 water rises by 1000m Most of the world is under water Greenland: " I don't feel any different"

Chileans and Nepalese: I sleep 😴

If, as someone said, the maximum rise would be about 68 meters, then I would assume that much of Antarctica and Greenland would be uncovered by ice yet still possibly under water. I would like to see a simulation of that as well.

Many thanks for this 3D globe !

South America is the first continent that's hugely affected but one of the last continents to remain as a "continent"

Idk why I got the biggest sense of fear when the sea levels started rising in the beginning, and the biggest sense of relief when the water started filling up in the end, knowing both were probably never going to happen anywhere close to now.

Thank you for giving me existential crisis

How did sea level rise: Cus Antarctica is melting her ice

Would love to see one with predicted plate movements over time, past and future. Probably much more difficult but would be very interesting!!!

Personally, i fell that having 0080m of low sea level would be perfect. Since, not only would new zealand be a new continent, but also that parts of the ancient world that is currently under water would finally be able be viewed by the public and allow us to study them.

where i live in eastern canada, most of the province disappears under water at about 90 M. on the bright side i`ve always wanted beach front property. i was rather surprised at the calculations. very interesting video.

The moment i saw Appalachia get swallowed up i knee it was over for me. Cool video.

I have a suggestion to keep you all occupied: learn to swim.

What's interesting here is that the sea before the last ice age was about 120 meters or something lower. So 4:30 is pretty much how it was. You can see where "Doggerland" used to be, same as the Sumatran peninsula, "Sunderland". Then all got swallowed up by the sea

I love how before it even starts the Caspian Sea begins expanding

Finally, a rise and fall video that doesn't have to do with a celebrity!

I like how Greenland always survives, no matter if it’s an pandemic or ecological catastrophe

The ocean falling was cool because it revealed all the underwater land masses

the most striking moment of sea level decline is Indonesia when Sumatra, Borneo and Java merge with Asia and New Guinea merges with Australia.

Cool. Up here in Johannesburg, always think that we're safe from the maximum sea level rise possible, and any tsunami.

imagine the possibilities of new places being made when sea levels dropped

5:00 , nice seeing all the forgotten continents arise up.

Really puts the height of the Andes into perspective, wow!

The rise and fall of the Sea is such a heart breaking and interesting documentary perfectly visualized through artistic storytelling. Salute to the Sea for rising so high yet falling off like everything else at the end🫡

2:49 live footage of me drinking all the sea water (i am very thirsty)

Imagine you relocated at the top of mount everest and you see the sea reaching you

4:03 when the water lowers

Ignoring water crises the map around the 5:40 mark would be such an interesting world to live in and see the history of A few predictions: 1. Coastal Antarctica (which would be a bit greener as its land would reach further north) would be settled by the people who reached Tierra del Fuego in our world with a culture similar to Greenland’s developing there. 2. Polynesia or Phoenicia-style seafaring and island hopping empires all over the world.

Great video! But I feel like the second scenario is infinitely more worse than the first. Even at its most extreme. With more water, we still have a chance (boats, fish, etc.). With no water though... we're finished. That, in a way, makes me worry a little less about rising sea levels.

Огромное спасибо за труд !!!

Vegapunk theory

I find it interesting how when the sea levels are dropping, strips of land start to appear everywhere and sort of start to look like how the tectonic plates are arranged especially around the americas

Interesting that Lake Eyre in almost Central Australia grows quickly early, this is definitely created based on altitude levels not sea levels rising, that region is totally surrounded by higher ground and its very dry most of the year, it is fed by rivers from the east that empty into it rather than it being possible for sea rise to back up a river from the sea.

Wow never knew the north pole has such shallow waters that's pretty fascinating, also i was expecting the paleo continent of Zealandia to appear much sooner

Imagine being on the Mount Everest, the last living person on the planet and the water rises in couple hours about 9km, just thinking about it is terrifying.

For me its crazy how Chile survives a lot even tho its literally a really big coast

Sulawesi / Celebes. really hard to drown it down, and really hard to unite with closest island. what a special one. sukar ditenggelamkan, dan sukar disatukan bahkan dengan pulau terdekat. pulau yg istimewa 👏

Even though this thing is a normal simulation, it's so scary for some odd reason. Seeing this fills me with some kind of passive dread and hopelessness. Seeing my home going under the water is so strange. It's... Strange and scary, seeing familiar places disappear. It feels like people are actively dying due to this, which they'd be doing anyway. But still. And then seeing it all come back fills me with hope, and then it suddenly dries out! ;-; wtf why is this so scary

Thanks for added ulaanbaatar

The second part is something I have never expected or seen before. Really interesting!

2:00 Antarcica - best place for live!

During the antediluvian times, at the end of the ice age, sea levels rose a supposed 300-400 metres in height because the ice caps melted. Looking at this really puts that into perspective.

Beautiful video. thank you.

That was honestly very interesting keep up the awesome work!

2:42 At least i will need to climb only 1 meter to the peak of mount Everest

If see levels could drop around 1000 meters with no consequence that’d be pretty dope, it looks like 2 different world. You have all the continents and then ocean is filled with islands like it an endless archipelago in some places

Amazing how this shows mountains over 2000 meters above sea level being covered at just an increase of 200 meters.

I think it would be interesting to see how nations take on new borders with sea levels dropping. Would war break out between France and Britain over land disputes with the new land bridge from the British Isles to mainland Europe. What about the new territory connecting Australia and New Guinea? Russia and the U.S now having a border would led to disaster. Or what about the closing Mediterranean Sea? Would new nations rise? What about the the new large islands formed in the Atlantic? So many possibilities for this kind of world.

One positive point that I see in your illustration, is the ease with which anyone left, will be able to take a boat ride to Mt. Everest. Has your video included any compensation for volumetric conversation of snow and ice into a liquid form? The 8k meter figure, is I am assuming a representation of the increased ocean depth from today’s current surface level. It is puzzling to see most of the Earth’s surface inundated, and yet there is still snow and ice on Greenland and Antarctica. Those should have slipped beneath the surface before Kathmandu.

When using better bottom contour charts for saltwater fishing off the Wa coast , I was shown old riverbeds that ranged from shore to 100 or so feet . Basically Mud , Sand , and Gravel, where Sealife can cling and prosper. Halibut heaven. There were also riverbeds from 100-600 feet down that if you were to put a straight edge on , they’d point right at each of the Vancouver Island big rivers. Nitinat River was the one we found, and supposedly the Ice age scarfed out the straight of Juan de Fuca , yet those riverbeds are still 600 feet down on the far side of the scarf. I see 2 major sea level changes of 100-500 feet each from what charts and my bottom sounder show me. Can even see old harbors and deltas. Shrimp heaven.

This put into perspective how much fucking water is in the ocean, like compared to the land mass, it's crazy. I never realized how little our land actually took up our earth.

The most terrifying of the four scenarios to me is of the previously inhabited continents being revealed by the receding water level. You'd find the dead remains of all sorts of alien like sea creatures littering the soaking ground, massive abandoned heaps of steel and concrete where cities used to be, and billions of human bodies strewn in places they don't belong. The eerie sense that people used to live here... and that it was once covered by thousands of meters of water, in total darkness.

4:07 Badlandschugs when he feels thirsty.

800 years ago during the void century. the water level rose by 200meters.

Does this simulation account for the total volume of ice and isostatic rebound? Because if it does not, than it is falls or inaccurate at best.

5:17 1000m 5:31 2000m 5:39 3000m 5:50 4000m 6:00 5000m 6:06 6000m 6:11 7000m 6:13 8km 6:15 9km

4:34 That’s basically the earth at 9000+ years ago.

As long as our politicians and billionaires keep buying beachfront homes I’m not worried.

all of the other countries: Drowning to death Tibet: Calmly making a sanwich

5:55 hoi4 unification wars mod players: hey I’ve seen this one before

OMG... that's sooooo accurate, I Live In Australia, and the higher mountain (1000m) and the details are so precise. Well Done.

Noah just floating on above everyone ❤

The caspian sea looks distorted

At 4:13 u can see a land between uk and denmark. Its original name is doggerland and it flooded over time

Great. Now i want to rewatch Waterworld

You should do a map with a pole reversal. They’ve found frozen wooly mammoths with frozen flowers still in their mouth. An instant freeze if the poles shift or move quickly. Some say a pole shift or reversal would cause massive waves. The land doesn’t move elevation wise but the water is pushed or pulled differently or something. Idk how true it is but I know they’ve proven pole shifts and reversals but idk if someone has mapped out the water movements if that happens.

Worst case scenario, if all the ice melted the sea level would rise by around 67 meters. From where I live in London I’d still be a few meters above sea level

Genial, siempre me ha gustado imaginar ambos escenarios
