Admiral Byrd’s own comment on the significance of the Mount Weaver
finds: ‘Here at the southernmost known mountain in the world, scarcely
two hundred miles from the South Pole, was found conclusive evidence
that the climate of Antarctica was once temperate or even sub-tropical.’ 6
Exhibit 4
‘Soviet scientists have reported finding evidence of tropical flora in
Graham Land, another part of Antarctica, dating from the early Tertiary
Period (perhaps the Paleocene or Eocene) ... Further evidence is provided
by the discovery by British geologists of great fossil forests in Antarctica,
of the same type that grew on the Pacific coast of the United States 20
million years ago. This of course shows that after the earliest known
Antarctic glaciation in the Eocene [60 million years ago] the continent did
not remain glacial but had later episodes of warm climate.’ 7
Exhibit 5
‘On 25 December 1990 geologists Barrie McKelvey and David Harwood
were working 1830 metres above sea level and 400 kilometres [250
miles] from the South Pole in Antarctica. The geologists discovered fossils
from a deciduous southern beach forest dating from between two and
three million years ago’. 8
Exhibit 6
In 1986 the discovery of fossilized wood and plants showed that parts of
Antarctica may have been ice free as little as two and a half a million
years ago. Further discoveries showed that some places on the continent
were ice-free 100,000 years ago. 9
