Capping off the year with yet another prehistoric map:

Australia during the Pleistocene ice age, an ancient land of bizarre Megafauna, as seen in the most recent season of Prehistoric Planet.

See you all in 2026, happy new year! : )

Made a couple of Earth shots for the latest PBS eons video, including the still in the thumbnail here.

Represents Greenland 2 million years ago.

There is a bigger Eons project which I was more heavily involved with, set to come out next spring, I believe.
