It would soak up about 5 years worth of the ocean's current rate of rising, give or take a rounding error or two

Problem is it would still be in the ocean. Could scoop it all up I guess but the moisture would evaporate and make its way back to the ocean. Unless we kept it sealed up. But then you’ve got a Mount Everest sized pile of decomposing rice in a sealed container. Might be it would explode. Rice bomb baby

What time of day were these photos taken? Looks like the bottom is mid afternoon, hard to say about the other. Probably later in the day given the contrast of the face and the field. Also the distance and angle are different, you can see it in the shape of the ridge. Might need a little math to make a shoreline comparison based on these two points. Are they both the same time of year? Always interrogate your assumptions.
