I checked Google and 16 feet is correct for the Ross Ice Shelf...

The Ross Ice Shelf In Antarctica
ilstu.edu

If all of Antarctica melted, the sea level would rise around 200 feet. Together with Greenland that is about 220 feet. So if both Greenland and Antarctica melted in 1,000 years, that would be 22 feet of sea level rise per century, which is 2.2 feet every ten years.

The above site has a map showing what the world looks like when the sea rises 200 feet. Florida disappears, along with big chunks of Louisiana, Mississippi, Brazil, China, Bangladesh, Australia, etc.
