A new look at what Edinburgh could look like if the polar ice caps melt and sea levels rise by 200 metres, has left most of the city submerged under water.
Not much of the city would actually remain, with areas such as Stockbridge and Meadowbank falling victim to climate change and Queen Street becoming a beach.
Floodmap allows you to focus on an area and choose what it would look like, judging by how much the sea levels rise.

The question was raised after a source from the American Museum of Natural History confirmed that the world could never be fully under-water, but it would look a lot different to how it does now.
If all the ice covering the Antarctica was to melt, due to climate change, seal levels would rise about 70 metres (230 feet) and the ocean would cover all coastal cities. Land area would also shrink significantly, so what does this mean for Edinburgh?
If you enter those figures into Floodmap, you are presented with an image of how Edinburgh would be affected by this crisis, and it doesn't look pretty for most of us.
As you can see from the map, all that remains above sea-level is central Edinburgh. Areas such as Leith and Granton would all be submerged and the whole of Musselburgh would be no more.
Branching out more, the rest of East Lothian would join Musselburgh on the list, with Dalkeith, North Berwick and Prestonpans all being too close to the coast.
The Queensferry Crossing would remain due to the height of it, but nothing either side would be accessible.
Calton Hill, one of the city's most popular tourist attractions, would provide people with a lovely view... of water.
The George Street area would act as a lovely beach to view the Princes Street river and trains would have to be swapped for submarines to make it out of Waverley Station.
If anyone is becoming increasingly scared - don't be - the whole of the Antarctica is never going to melt, it has survived a lot hotter climates. The concern, however, is that portions of Greenland and the West Antarctic may disappear.
With geologists and other experts still unable to determine exactly how ice rapidly flows down valley's like rivers of water, this topic of discussion is due to be a grey area for many years to come, so don't go investing in a paddle-board just yet!
