According to my now extinct Sony Clie PDA (and now I see a linked BBC article on Fortean's home page), the marine districts of Antarctica may be the source of all marine life. Now, as far as I am concerned, the actual implications of this are rather monumental. If all marine life originated in the waters around Antarctica, and all life is believed to come from the sea...
You see my point?
It also invigorates those theories which connect the great unknown continent (which currently lies under the great ice sheets of the south pole) and the possibility of an ancient civilisation having been fostered there before the ice obliterated it. The discovery of the fossil of an enormous meat eating dinosaur confirmed a few years ago that the Antarctic continent was once warm. Such a dinosaur cannot evolve on packed ice. It's sheer size reveals that it came from warmer climbs...when Antarctica was closer to the equator.
Not only could such a creature fail to survive (or even evolve into such a form over millenia) but there would be no reasonable source of food with which to crush with those enormous teeth (which in turn could also not evolve to such a great size without a decent and regular source of 'big meat').
The work of the late Robert Argod may also be given a new lease of life. His attractive theory that the ancient civilisation in question were none other than the ancestors of the Polynesians is convincing to say the least. For those unfamiliar with his work, he pinpointed specific cultural and historical references (in addition to his own mastery of navigation and geology) which highlight atmospheric phenomena unknown to the current inhabitants of that gregarious region in the Pacific.
Then there's Atlantis.
Well, I just wanted to share these thoughts. Wonder what you all think and all that jazz...
P.S Excuse the 'Extinct PDA' pun in the first line. I have just found out that SONY have dropped it from their product lists. This means that support will soon stop.
