There is already speculation about Antarctica being Atlantis. The only strong evidence however, is the fact that Port-to-Port maps exist...from one part of Antarctica to another...the shore lines match up, if you take into consideration the ocean rising in the distant past. The question then comes up...why do port to port maps exist for this frozen region, and the only answer is that it was not that cold at some point in a distant past and that people actually did live there for some reason. We already know that the true north pole (magnetically speaking) is about a 1000 miles south in one of the lakes of Candada...thus the reason all pilots use magnetic variation if using a compass for long-distance travel.

There is a theory that holds tht the Earth's crust shifts dramatically ever several hundred thousand years and that Antartica was at one time near the equator and was not the pole. I find it to be bogus.
