Can't watch it because of my "current location". -.-

Sometimes i feel like buried alive 2.0!

But read at least.

I'm also very curious what kind of secrets are waiting under the ice of the Southpole as the Earth's landmasses and it's positions and the equator itself were changing positions since the very beginning.

Greenland and surrounding islands like Ellesmere have the best fossils in the world that are revealing how the fish-to-amphibian-to-reptile evolution played out. Perhaps Greenland's interior was the place where this evolution took place back during the Carboniferous 300~360 mya. Back then Greenland was farther south. Below are some BBC videos about what was going on during this time. The trees back then looked really alien.

Below are links to a couple of good references for those who want to look deeper. I have not yet read the 2nd edition to "Gaining Ground" but I have the book. There is also another recent or yet to be published book on the fish to amphibian transition but I can't seem to find it on Amazon where I first saw it.
