Antarctica undergoing severe and long-lasting heat wave

More precisely, between 30-50 million years ago, the top of North America crossed over the 600 miles to the Pole threshold and hence started to stack ice. 50 million was the accepted number prior to McBullshit.






Melting 5+ million cubic miles of ice takes some time. Given the map of Northern Canada, what is underwater today was filled with ice 5 million years ago. Ellesmere Island is still within 600 miles of the Pole and hence is still in Ice Age, which is why it has 0.3% of Earth ice now. What officially shut off the North American Ice Age is when Ellesmere Island's current surrounding water changed from ice to water. We can only guess when and why, but clearly there are undersea volcanoes in the Arctic Ocean. My guess is that happened in the past 1- 5 million years. so call it 3 million years ago, and once it happened, it shut off North American Ice Age from the 600 miles to the Pole threshold, and hence NAIA ceased to grow and started to melt. Or more precisely, the ice coming south from the top of Northern Canada ceased, leaving a huge ice sheet with no "reinforcements."

And when did it get to be 600 miles and 10 feet away?

Water on the edge of a continent sized ice sheet caused ice thousands of miles away to start melting?

A bit of water hundreds of miles away from the top of Northern Canada
can cut an ice sheet across thousands of miles? Was it magic water?
 
Sorry, assumed you meant 50 mil.

50k years ago Greenland's ice age had yet to cover the southern peninsula, likely held up by the mountain range just north of the peninsula.

We have good data on Greenland.

Totally green 2 million years ago at the top.



Middle went from forest to ice age 400-800k years ago...




The Vikings farmed the Southern Tip aka peninsula until the 1400 when they were frozen out by the advancing ice age.

Totally green 2 million years ago at the top.

What was its latitude at the northern tip 2 million years ago?
