| Description: | OVER THE POLE: Surveying the Ice Ages from a Seat in Heaven</b></a> 112 <br>Flying from Copenhagen to Seattle, one sees the land of the two dozen ice ages. Changes in the Earth's orbit and tilt: Milankovitch's prisoner-of-war project. Cold spikes during warming periods: lessons from the Younger Dryas and similar cold snaps during the last ice age. Why Greenland wasn't named Iceland, and vice versa; the century-long changes in Atlantic climates. Whole continents may suddenly open up to habitation, as when big game hunters discovered the Americas, via the ice-free corridor just east of the Rockies. The salt economy of bays and the conveyor belt for salt linking the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic's warming of Europe. . |
