Daily Mail, UK - A Seattle-based urban planner has created maps of cities around the world showing the alarming results of what the world would look like submerged in water.
Though the doomsday scenario in which all of the world's glaciers melt could be thousands of years in the future, it would make many loved cities - including Portland, New York and Los Angeles - unrecognizable.
Coastal cities around the world have been affected by global climate change, melting polar ice and warming ocean waters that have had concerning results on rising sea levels.
More worrying, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated that if all of the world's glaciers melted, sea level would rise by more than 260 feet.
