| 10 m | 1,541 km² | 12.3% |
| 20 m | 2,754 km² | 21.9% |
| 50 m | 7,508 km² | 59.8% |
| 80 m | 12,176 km² | 97% |
| 120 m | 12,553 km² | 100% |
| 200 m | 12,553 km² | 100% |

Frequently asked questions
How deep is the Bahía Grande?
On average about 42 m in the GEBCO grid (the middle value is 42 m). The deepest cell inside its outline is 96 m, at 51.16° S, 68.15° W.
How big is the Bahía Grande?
About 12,553 km² of water inside its Natural Earth outline, counted from the grid cells that are below sea level.
How much of the Bahía Grande would be land if sea level dropped?
With the sea 10 m lower, about 1,541 km² (12.3%) 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.
