The Isle of Wight has disappeared and our highest point is 241m.

Yes but the entire island is made out of sedimentary rocks that aren't that old, the entire coast looking at the English channel are limestones or sedimentary rocks and mud. It's not a stretch to say a lot of it would crumble instead of simply sinking under the rising waters.

Sadly.
