Quaternary glacial and climate history of Antarctica by

Gibbard, eds., 2004, Quaternary Glaciations - Extent and
Chronology, Part III. Elsevier, pp. 3-43. [www.hi.is]

This online version of a published paper summarizes and
illustrates the large amount of published research, which
soundly demolishes the claims of Rand Flem-Ath, Charles
Hapgood in case of the Piri Map, and other catastrophists
of there ever having been either a completely ice-free
Antarctica or ice-free West Antarctica at any time during
the last glacial epoch, the Wisconsin Statge of the
Pleistocene.

In addition, this summary shows that Rand Flem-Ath's
complaints about the glacial and climatic history of
Antarctic being based almost entirely ice core data in
Appendix 6 of the "Atlantis Blueprint" is an utterly false
one based a remarkably profound lack of knowleged on
his part what has been published in the literature about
the glacial history of Antarctic. The ironic nature of
what is stated by Rand Flem-Ath's Appendix 6 is that
when his complaints are compared what conventional
Earth Scientists have actually published, it show that
it is Flem-Ath, not them, who has "replaced investigation
with extrapolation" based on a rather fudnamental
ignorance of the detailed research on which conventional
scientists have based their interpretations.

during a time when Flem-Ath, Hapgood, and others argue that
either all or part of it was ice-free is at [www.hi.is]
