Personally, I’m excited to see what kind of biomes end up emerging on a melting/melted Antartica.

Well ok, even I’m not pessimistic enough to think I’ll live to see that, in a way that its dramatically different than it is now, but hey, its like uh… a subbranch of speculative evolution, sorta.

How exactly were the names “East Antarctica” and “West Antarctica” in that map decided? What does “East” and “West” mean at the South Pole?
Unless you stand perfectly at the south pr perfectly at the north point of either pole, there will always be an east and a west.
Yes - but you can choose any point to stand on. So all arbitrary separations in to “East” and “West” are equally valid.
We shall have the compass decide, good sir! We are but mere mortals!
