As the caption says, this map does not take into consideration the fact that without the ice sea levels would be higher, but Antarctica, no longer weighed down by the weight of the ice, would rise up a long way itself.

I bet if one deleted the map of the continental shelf, few people would recognise it.
So I did that, and rotated it to throw people off further, and it looks like he was right. :o)
