      Well, we could nuke Antarctica.

      That… might actually cause something approximately like that, if you threw the entire US nuclear arsenal at it.

        If you’re going to be using nukes like that, you might as well Operation Plowshare yourself a canal directly instead.

        (Sorry in advance if this is too credible.)

          “Operation Glass Cannon”

          EDIT:

          Well, I put my glasses on and looked at the original image again…

          Nuking a canal into… out of… ??? … that section of the Arabian penninsula would have the benefit of not causing the Noachian Deluge Round 2 for all of Iraq.

          So that’s probably a plus, for the nuclear infrastructure engineering plan.
