What If Antarctica Were a Rainforest
Published 26 Apr 2020
About 90 million years ago, the frozen realm of Antarctica used to be a lush, swampy, temperate forest, similar to those found in New Zealand today. The rainforest managed to thrive, even with four months of polar night, when there was no Sunlight. What if this ancient rainforest decided it was time to make a comeback? What if Antarctica were a rainforest? Would this work out well for us? Or be devastating for the human race?
