    Forests under the Antarctic icecap? I dont know about that?
    I know there are coal deposits on Antarctica which is evidence of forests many millions of years ago.

    It should be fairly obvious to scientists these days as they found the same in greenland last year under a few km of solid ice.The magnetic poles are constantly moving.
