Abstract

When you think of Antarctica, what pictures come to your mind? Ice, penguins, frozen ocean? While this is what Antarctica looks like now, hidden in its rocks and ice are clues that Antarctica has not always been a freezing, white land. Fossils of plants and animals tell us that, millions of years ago, Antarctica was warm and covered in forests. Dolphins swam in the sea and crocodiles wallowed in the shallows! So what happened to turn this green world into the icy continent it is today? In this article, we go on a journey back through time, exploring ancient Antarctica and discovering what caused ice and snow to creep over the land.
