| 10 m | 4 km² | under 0.1% |
| 20 m | 8 km² | 0.2% |
| 50 m | 22 km² | 0.5% |
| 80 m | 31 km² | 0.7% |
| 120 m | 43 km² | 0.9% |
| 200 m | 108 km² | 2.3% |
| 500 m | 1,043 km² | 22% |
| 1,000 m | 4,739 km² | 100% |
| 2,000 m | 4,739 km² | 100% |

Frequently asked questions
How deep is the Ronne Entrance?
On average about 589 m in the GEBCO grid (the middle value is 583 m). The deepest cell inside its outline is 935 m, at 72.83° S, 74.20° W.
How big is the Ronne Entrance?
About 4,739 km² of water inside its Natural Earth outline, counted from the grid cells that are below sea level.
How much of the Ronne Entrance would be land if sea level dropped?
With the sea 200 m lower, about 108 km² (2.3%) 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.
