Twenty feet above the sea

How tall is the Everglades?


If you include the Kissimmee River,
it's a respectable 60 feet tall.

But subtract it out of the picture (leaving behind only Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades) and it's all under 20 feet high.


Or in other words,
Shorter than the top of my single story house ...

If also infinite as far as the eye can see.
