Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Round the World, Vol. 4 Enveloped as they are now in perpetual ice and snow, there are many proofs that the Arctic regions once enjoyed a milder climate. This fact has been established by the fossil wood, acorns, and petrified fir-cones that have been found within their limits. In North Greenland, a large burned forest has been discovered surrounded by glaciers, 1,080 feet above the level of the sea. Not only the trunks and branches of the trees, but even the leaves, fruit-cones, and seeds have been preserved in the soil, thus enabling the botanist to determine to what species the trees belong. Trees and plants belonging to a climate as mild as that of Lausanne or Geneva once flourished here; but the origin of the great change in temperature can only be theorized upon, and there have been many theories broached and upheld by scientists on this interesting subject.
