  • There is a map showing a very detailed coastline of Antarctica including mountains and rivers from hundreds of years ago that describes it as a place that is very hot and full of snakes. The original map-maker said he had combined maps from multiple sources to create that map. You could argue that the description was false and intended to keep people away, but how did they see the coastline? It is at the very least evidence that Antarctica was not covered in ice at some point during not so distant human existence.
