- mkl 6y agoNot catastrophically though, and "largely underwater" seems incorrect, especially since the land around Hudson Bay is part of the Canadian shield, with only a thin layer of dirt over rock [1]. Even if all polar ice melted, and the sea rose 70m [2], it looks like Hudson Bay would only increase in area by ~20%: https://www.floodmap.net/?ll=62.144976,-87.451172&z=4&e=70 https://www.floodmap.net/?ll=62.144976,-87.451172&z=4&e=70 By contrast, practically all of Florida would be gone with that rise.
