The total amount of ice in the Greenland ice sheet is estimated to be 2.85 million cubic km.

Assume the Earth's surface is 70% covered by ocean, and that the Earth's radius is 6300 km. How many meters would sea level rise if the entire Greenland ice sheet were to melt?

(You may further assume that the density of ice is 916.9 kg/m^3 , and that once melted it attains the density of fresh water at 0 C, 1000 kg/m^3.)
