Sea level fluctuates within a normal range of a few hundred feet over time.  Sea level was 450 feet lower than it is now during the most recent ice age just a few thousand years ago (not to speak of the fluctuation during Noah's flood).  A fall of only 60 feet would be sufficient to turn the Bering Strait into the Bering Isthmus, joining the Americas to Asia, Europe, and Africa.

"Given sufficient rise in sea level":
 
What a nice concept! Given sufficient rise in sea level I would - virtually - be the winner, having been on top of Cerro di Aconcagua, highest peak of the Americas and the entire world outside of Asia, on the 17th January 1997. And knowing all America drowned - no further comment.
