Position of South Orkney during the late Eocene (IMAGE)
Caption
Results of the Master’s thesis research that was published in Climate of the Past. The red star indicates the position of South Orkney during the late Eocene (37 million years ago). The blue regions indicate where Antarctica may have had land ice at the time. The grey and light-blue lines in the ocean show the possible paths of icebergs. Light blue paths actually reached South Orkney, which was in Iceberg Alley in the late Eocene.
