Yes those maps. > I would think it's related to the "Medieval Warm Period" > (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Warm_Period). Um no. This map and the others like it which show varried level of detail of antarctica without ice were based on ancient sources. Antarctica was not offically discovered until the early 19th century. > Thats when the Vikings inhabited Greenland and were farming there... the claim > was that when they settled there around 900 southern Greenland was nice... not > so by the time they dissappeared around 1400 however... According to conventional theory, antarctica has been covered with ice for the last several million years. Since long before humans existed. Modern ice-free maps of antarctica came from the use of radar to map it. First done in the 1950s. However also according to conventional theory, no human ever made it to antarctica before the early 19th century. Somebody has to be wrong somewhere. Especially since this map and others predate accurately knowing what antarica looked like without ice. And known in modern times before the knowledge to fake them existed.
