Well, they call it “Green Land”

And there’s not much ice on Iceland.

"That means that the ice atop it had melted away, at least temporarily."

Temporarily as in 10 or 20 thousand years?

The Mal’ta boy, ancient boy found buried near lake Baykal in the middle of Siberia was found to be related to both Europeans and American Indians, but not to the Mongols, Chinese or other people living nearby now.

Go look up Coral harbor, it’s in the neighborhood, named so for the natural Coral that litters the beaches.

Look up Grise fiord, you can walk the beaches there too and find the same Coral that you find on Hawaiian beaches.

The Coral needs about 82 degrees to do well.

What was before dinosaurs?

Pterygotus, Arthropleura, Meganeura, Jaekelopterus....

Kind of glad I live now.

Yup,scratches on the rocks. Don’t know if you’ve ever been to Central Park but most of the “mini mountains” I spoke of have the very same thing. And those scratches,I’ve read,are proof that there was a glacier there.And those glaciers,like most glaciers,have small (and not so small) rocks that they drag along with them and it’s those rocks which cause the scratches.

Yes, I have been there, and yes, I have seen what you mentioned. impressive.
Last glacier, so called Wisconsin glacier reached as far south as south of Indianapolis. Ohio valley was created by flood from melting glaciers.
What is even more stunning is the fact that the glaciers melted in practically no time. Like maybe few years?
The melting of glaciers was accompanied by huge floods, a lot larger that anything we ever experienced.
All the Midwest river valleys were carved by that flood, instanty.

"Humbling" doesn't even begin to describe it.

For years when driving down to NYC I'd pass a sign on I-91 south of Hartford that says "Dinosaur State Park". I had always wanted to stop but never did...until last summer. It's main attraction is a small bit of mud,now enclosed in a small building,in which one can see what looks like many bird-like tracks. They say that those tracks were left by a creature that looked something like one of the main creatures in Jurassic Park (the one that spat that black stuff at the fat guy)...about 200 million years ago.

Yikes!

On route 5 in Holyoke there is a small parking spot. If you walk towards the river for a few yards you will come across dinosaur footprints in a fenced off area. Not small either.

Who knew there were beasts in the Northampton area? LOL

Most probably due to earth’s crustal shift. When they used water cannons for mining gold in AAlaska’s gold fields as they cut deep into permafrost they uncovered frozen tropical forests and the remains of sabre toothed tigers and many other temperate/tropical lifeforms. Scientists claimed that this was the result and approximate 90° shift in the Earth’s crust that was so violent that it tore trees and lifeforms apart and resulted in quick freezing those forms that shifted to the Arctic.

Here in SW Ohio, we were once covered by a 2-mile thick glacier that melted back to the artic.

A thousand years ago, the Vikings set sail and landed on an island that was warm with a lush green landscape and called the island...GREENLAND.
