Antarctica reveals lost world

Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker Anne Aghion captures noted geologists Allan Ashworth and Adam Lewis (featured above) discover evidence of a dramatic climate shift that occurred over 14 million years ago. The discovery makes worldwide headlines and is heralded as the most significant in recent Antarctic climate change research.

The discoveries—of ancient Antarctic tundra and other organisms—now form the basis for understanding a global cooling that occurred some 14 million years ago during which the Antarctic cooled by at least 14 degrees Fahrenheit over the course of 200,000 years. Learn more about the geologists and their findings.
