When Antarctica Was A Lush Green Rainforest Paradise

Описание: When Antarctica Was A Lush Green Rainforest Paradise

Imagine standing at the South Pole and sweating. No ice, no snow—just a dense, humid rainforest teeming with life. This isn't science fiction; this was Antarctica 50 million years ago.

In this video, we uncover the buried history of the Green Antarctica. From the fossils of palm trees found beneath kilometers of ice to the nightmare-fuel giant penguins that roamed the forests, we explore the Eocene epoch—a time when the world was a greenhouse paradise.

We’ll break down exactly how the coldest place on Earth sustained a tropical ecosystem through six months of darkness, the massive geological divorce that ended the party, and why this ancient history is a terrifying warning for our modern climate.

Topics Covered:
The "Greenhouse Earth" of the Eocene Epoch
How palm trees and baobabs grew at the South Pole
Anthropornis: The 6-foot tall giant penguin
The connection between Australia, South America, and Antarctica
The Azolla Event and the sudden deep freeze
