Ever imagined what would happen if we couldn’t control the rise in average temperature of earth? Or, what would happen if all the ice on the planet melts? Probably you would no more find iconic cities such as Venice , Istanbul, London, and Brussels in Europe; Mumbai, Kolkata and Beijing in Asia; and Seattle, Miami, New York, and Washington DC in the US among other cities. That means you won’t be able to visit the beautiful city of Venice in Italy comprising a group of 118 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges.

Let’s know the name of those cities which would be soon under the oceans.
