Antarctica in 100 million AD.
Antarctica is one of the Earth's continents, existing as an independent land mass from the Eocene, when it split from Australia and South America, until 200 million AD, when it fuses with the other continents to form Pangaea II.
By 5 million AD, Antarctica itself has moved little, but the ice age conditions of the world mean its ice sheet has greatly expanded over the sea.
Over several tens of millions of years, Antarctica's northward drift brings it into warmer climates. The landscape is first populated by lichens, sedges, and grasses, then by a temperate forest, and finally, when Antarctica has drifted into the tropics by 100 million AD, a large tropical rainforest in the north of the continent.
By 200 million AD, Antarctica has moved further north and collided with the other continents, forming the supercontinent Pangaea II.
