The reason is that most of Los Angeles will find itself underwater if all the world's ice caps, sheets and glaciers melt

Fortunately, the average temperature in Antarctica is about -37°C, and it is unlikely that this mass of ice will melt anytime soon What's most shocking is that this map isn't some kind of crazy projection of an unlikely future. Seattle-based Jeffrey Linn created maps of cities in those circumstances.

A Satellite Lets Scientists See Antarctica’s Melting Like Never Before. The state's geography would be radically altered, with significant portions submerged under the ocean The maps only show North America's Pacific Coast: we can't use them to tour the aquatic ruins of London or Hong Kong (alas).
