Hmm I’m not sure Sgurr Alisdair is lower than Kingussie.
Thought this was the Elden Ring map for a second there.
I had no idea that melted ice caps would cause Stirling to float so far West.
I now have a lovely sea view! So long everyone who is submerged.
I’m in the dry, so I don’t care. Personally I’d love to see London underwater. It would make a nice ‘Atlantis’ fishing holiday.
I’m safe on the island of Gateshead at least. Yeah there’s a lot of hills but high ground in this situation is a good thing.
I’d have beach front property then but where would the capital be now?
As a person who lives in Wiltshire, I absolutely can’t wait for the ocean to be 30 minutes away and a lake to be on my doorstep! Brb, just going to take a private jet out for a spin.
How does the landlocked middle of Wales end up under water?
Sweet, my house about to become a beach front property 🏖️☀️😎
Down and Antrim being their own islands would go a long way to solving Northern Ireland’s constitutional issues.
When we moved back to the UK in 1974 my dad said he chose Leeds as it would stay above water if the ice caps melted due to climate change, he was right.
They will melt at some point… We’re still emerging from the quarternary ice age. Hence there being ice on the poles.
