How big is the Golfo Corcovado?
About 19,346 km² of water inside its Natural Earth outline, counted from the grid cells that are below sea level.
How much of the Golfo Corcovado would be land if sea level dropped?
With the sea 10 m lower, about 895 km² (4.6%) 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.
