East Antarctic ice sheet - something to watch.

"This vast mass holds enough water to raise sea levels by 53 metres worldwide. And researchers have confirmed that one stretch of the southern polar coastline has melted many times in the past: by enough to raise sea levels by three to five metres.

A rise of just one metre would render at least 100 million coast dwellers homeless."

There's always some cost with doing that. But it'll be nice to get away from some things around here,  even for a short while.
