Скачать или смотреть What If Antarctica Was Once a Green Continent? | Documentary For Sleep

Ice now defines Antarctica, but it didn’t always.

This documentary looks back to a time when the southern continent sat in a warmer part of the world and supported rivers, forests, and complex ecosystems. Using evidence from fossilized plants, sediment layers, ice cores, and plate tectonics, we explore how Antarctica once had a climate more like today’s temperate regions — and what gradual shifts in Earth’s position and atmosphere turned it into the frozen landscape we know now.

The focus stays on physical changes rather than speculation. Ocean currents, continental drift, volcanic activity, and long-term cooling patterns all play a role in explaining how a green land slowly transitioned into a continent locked under miles of ice.

You can follow the details closely, or let the slow movement of climates and continents fade into the background as you rest.

If you feel like sharing, you’re always welcome to mention where you’re watching from and what time it is there. It’s a quiet contrast to a place that once experienced seasons very different from today.

Let the ancient warmth of a forgotten Antarctica drift gently into the night,
and rest when you’re ready.
