Capping off the year with yet another prehistoric map:
Australia during the Pleistocene ice age, an ancient land of bizarre Megafauna, as seen in the most recent season of Prehistoric Planet.
See you all in 2026, happy new year! : )

With this one, I made two world variants. The one below shows the Late Pliensbachian ice-house (184 million years ago) and the other variant shows the Early Toarcian, following some serious global warming and ecological upheaval (Toarcian oceanic anoxic event).
