Antarctica and Glacial Ages | Nature

ABSTRACT IN NATURE of September 17 there is an interesting discussion between Rev. W. S. Fleming and Prof. E. W. MacBride in regard to the Gondwana flora and glaciation in Antarctica in

Permo-carboniferous times which requires some comment. Referring to the Permo-carboniferous ice age, Prof. MacBride suggests that a vast Gondwana continent in temperate parts of the southern

hemisphere drifted south across the south pole, Australia and Antarctica, which lay at its north edge, being left behind in temperate latitudes. The rest of the continent underwent severe

glaciation and finally broke up into South America, South Africa and the Deccan of India. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access
