  1. So, how’s it going to look like in 2051? Which capitals have joined this exclusive club due to sea levels rising?

  2. The Hague is largely build on a sand ridge, and on dunes next to the sea. So it’s about 0.8 meters above sea level.

  3. why is amsterdam at -2. The measuring of height is based in NAP. wich means normal amterdam measure. So you would expect it to be at 0.

  4. Azerbaijan in Europe? Wasn’t the limit in the Caucasus, running just on the north side of Azerbaijan?

  5. It’s still not known how much water is Locked in the Tibetan Plateau or the Siberian Tundra !
    i.e. Amsterdam, London & Washington are built on marsh land .

  6. Did you really think that it’s a coincidence that Dutch people are the tallest in the world?
