A map of the Unite… British Archipelago & the Irish Isles if all the glaciers melted [OC]

I’ll preface this by saying this is by NO MEANS an accurate scientific map. The topic, the rise of sea levels, is very much talked about and is scientifically established, as well as the figure I used for the map (70 metres) but the rest is purely fictional, that is the new cities, names, routes, all that silliness that make this look forward in the future a little less painful because the ocean is indeed taking more and more land every year across the globe and it is a problem.

1 metre is catastrophic enough but 70 metre almost looks like fantasy and leaves much room for the mischievous cartographet that I am. I tried to create new names based on all sort of things, ranging from celtic mythological names to funny slang that I tried to explore as non native english speaker. Ferry routes, seaplanes airports and canal are also just fun thoughts experiments! But they maybe make us ask ourselves how we are going to deal with this issue?

Hope you like the map and your new country of residence!

As a highlander this is a price I am willing to pay. Will need to get Hadrians wall sorted before the flooding mind.

Liverchester.. that would be war zone between liverpool and manchester football fans.

“New York.” But like, another one.

Also, what’s the deal with “The Thing?”

Looks like we’ll be an amazing place for a boating holiday.

My house is still dry, thank goodness.

Ireland looks like a tourist’s paradise, tbh. I’ll go fire up my coal oven… /s

Wanker’s Shoals 👀

💀 the names: Floating Cork and Swimming Poole, and The City Shareholders’ Memorial is 👌

Well, there goes my house.

However, for petty reasons, I would suggest Newer York instead of New York.

Sweet, I’d have a coastal property

Parts of this are really good and interesting as a thought experiment. And then there are super on the nose like shite-weather-bay and wanker’s shoals

Scotland and Wales: “And nothing of value was lost.” /j

I’m just imagining the French looking at this map and deciding to burn every tyre they can find to hurry it along.

Back during lockdowns I recall looking at a google maps overlay that showed which areas would be underwater at what levels of icecap meltage. Even at maximum, my house would be above water because I’m on a hill, but I’d have to use a rowboat to get out of my housing estate.

is there an iron chair floating around?

Calling Harris ‘Great Lewis’ will get you put in a wickerman

Babe wake up, new D&D campaign map just dropped

Stealing this for my TTRPG group

I’ve always said that Nottingham needed a beach.

Looks like piracy is back on the menu gentlemen.
