Image Size 300 DPI: 42 * 42 cm

This is how 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 the Gulf of Thailand now cleaves that country in two while submerging nearly all of Cambodia. The Gulf of Tonkin has claimed much of North Viet Nam. Ocean waters have claimed much of South Korea and some of North Korea and Eastern China. To the south much of Malaysia and the Indonesian archipelago have been claimed by the higher waters.
