This is a map of the world's oceans with the water level lowered by about 330 feet. Some say the water level was lowered by 500 feet during the Ice Age.

Looks like it would have to get closer to the 500 feet mark to close off the Gulf of Mexico, but I wouldn't at all be surprised if you're right, that it became a freshwater lake.

I notice on the map that Sundaland appears and the English Channel disappears. I understand some modern tankers barely clear the Channel bottom - it's pretty shallow. The Baltic also disappears, where there's some interesting archeology starting up. Japan also joins the mainland - making for some intriguing possibilities as to its ethnic history.

Weird map?? It shows all the Great Lakes gone.

Yet the deepest part of Lake Michigan is 923ft and Superior is 1,333 ft - so I don't 'get' the 330 ft lower water level making them disappear??
