The continent was relatively flat before glaciers started carving deep valleys 34 million years ago, a new study finds. Like Alaska's mighty Yukon, a broad river once flowed across Antarctica, following a gentle valley shaped by tectonic forces at a time before the continent became encased in ice.

Antarctica's climate was a tropical, green, beautiful place millions of years ago. Scientists found palm trees along the shore of Antarctica. Palm trees only grow in hot and humid places like Florida.

That's the only evidence I knew of (The palm trees). Also when I did the research that's all I could find. (The Palm Trees)
