This is how South Asia may appear with mean sea level about 100 meters (330 feet) above today's. Such a dramatic rise in sea level could occur if all of the Earth's glaciers were to melt. In this image over half of Pakistan along with the Indian state of Gujarat have become part of the Arabian Sea while the Persian Gulf has consumed Iran's border with Kuwait and some of Iraq. Bangladesh has succumbed entirely to the Bay of Bengal. The Gulf of Martaban now flows into much of Myanmar.
