Phew! After the Greenland icesheet melts, the new ballroom should still be about 8 m above sea level:

"Fort Reno ... is the highest point in the city. Its elevation is 420 feet above sea level (Compare with the elevation of the White House at only 50 feet)."

Greenland is twisting, tensing and shrinking due to the 'ghosts' of melted ice sheets
Tectonic processes and the "ghosts" of past ice sheets are contorting, lifting and pulling Greenland in different directions, new research reveals. Greenland sits on the North American tectonic plate, which has dragged the island northwest by 0.9 inches (23 millimeters)...

An advantage of flying the long way round back from Japan is seeing greenland from the air, the northern lights out the window and technically crossing off the bucket list item of circumnavigating the globe.

[8/8] En révélant l’histoire intime des glaces antarctiques, cette étude souligne leur rôle central dans l’équilibre climatique mondial. Comprendre leur passé, c’est mieux anticiper l’avenir de la planète. #geography #icesheet #Antarctica
A 3-D visualisation of selected traced and dated isochrones in East and West Antarctica and locations where different modelling applications have been conducted. Panel (a) shows 2.5, 4.7, 6.9 and 16.5 ka isochrones (greyscale lines) across the Pine Island–Thwaites Glacier catchment area (Bodart et al., 2021). Panel (b) shows 2.5, 4.7 and 6.9 ka isochrones spanning Institute Ice Stream (Ashmore et al., 2020). (c) Map of Antarctic traced and dated isochrone transects (black lines) and areas where at least one modelling study is available (grey boxes); red boxes denote areas of the 3-D visualisations. (d) Traced and dated (38, 48, 74 and 90 ka) isochronal structure around Dome C from Winter et al. (2019a) and (e) 19 isochrones (10–366 ka) from Cavitte et al. (2021).

[6/8] À l’inverse, l’Antarctique de l’Est apparaît plus ancien et plus stable. Sa glace profonde renferme des traces d’atmosphères vieilles de plus d’un million d’années, offrant une mémoire unique sur l’évolution du climat terrestre. #geography #icesheet #Antarctica

[3/8] L’étude montre que la calotte antarctique n’est pas stable. Elle s’est étendue et rétractée plusieurs fois, suivant les cycles climatiques. Ces mouvements expliquent les variations du niveau des mers, parfois supérieures à 20 mètres au cours du Quaternaire. #geography #icesheet #Antarctica

If we're getting bases back, I say we demand the return of Camp Century, because super secret atomic powered missile base buried in the Greenland icesheet is just the sort of leverage we need to bring down the cost of groceries.
