If all of the ice in the world melted, the United States would look like this:

No state would be completely underwater, although Florida, Delaware, Lousiana, and Rhode Island would be mostly lost. The following states would be at least partially flooded:

Alabama

Alaska

Arizona

Arkansas

California

Connecticut

Delaware

Florida

Georgia

Hawaii

Louisiana

Maine

Maryland

Massachusetts

Mississippi

Missouri

New Hampshire

New Jersey

New York

North Carolina

Oregon

Pennsylvania

Rhode Island

South Carolina

Tennessee

Texas

Vermont

Virginia

Washington

West Virginia

If all of the ice in the world melted, sea levels would rise about 200-250 feet. But, this is highly unlikely to happen. Almost 80% of the worlds ice is in the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, and it is currently super cold there. In order to disintegrate the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, it would have to warm to about 68° in that area, which would take an incredible amount of global warming. And, even if did warm to 68° in that area, it would still take at least 10,000 years to melt the ice there. So, no states are going to sink in the near future.
