| 10 m | 31 km² | 0.3% |
| 20 m | 65 km² | 0.6% |
| 50 m | 153 km² | 1.4% |
| 80 m | 238 km² | 2.3% |
| 120 m | 381 km² | 3.6% |
| 200 m | 904 km² | 8.6% |
| 500 m | 6,126 km² | 58.1% |
| 1,000 m | 9,529 km² | 90.3% |

Frequently asked questions
How deep is the Sulzberger Bay?
On average about 513 m in the GEBCO grid (the middle value is 414 m). The deepest cell inside its outline is 1,657 m, at 76.54° S, 149.70° W.
How big is the Sulzberger Bay?
About 10,550 km² of water inside its Natural Earth outline, counted from the grid cells that are below sea level.
How much of the Sulzberger Bay would be land if sea level dropped?
With the sea 50 m lower, about 153 km² (1.4%) of its water would be land. At 6,000 m lower, 100% would be. This is a simple bathtub model that lowers the sea evenly everywhere.
