The evidence for a warm Antarctic has been fossilized pollen and plankton found high in the Transantarctic Mountains, near the coast, and dated to around 3 million years ago.
南极洲曾经温暖的证据是在横跨南极山脉靠近海岸的高地上发现的花粉和浮游生物的化石，其年代被确定为距今 300万年左右。
At that time, the theory goes, Antarctica was ice-free and forested, with internal seaways covering low-lying areas, when the climate got colder, glaciers formed in the interior of the continent and then advanced across the seaways, sweeping plankton and pollen into the mountains.
因此有理论认为那时南极洲没有冰而是被森林覆盖着，洼地则是内陆河道，当气候变冷时，在大陆的中心地带形成了冰川，然后冰川向前延伸横过河道，而浮游生物和花粉则被冲到了山里。
But Sugden says the plankton could instead have come from sea ice off the Antarctic coast and been blown into the mountains by wind.
但是萨格登说，浮游生物可能来自南极洲沿岸的海水，是被风吹到山里的。
