I almost find that one more interesting, because we know Vikings and shit were going through the arctic starting at the latest around 700 AD, but who tf from back then would have been able to survey Antarctica’s unfrozen coastline?!? (Answer: none of the groups we acknowledge as existing back then)
Considering we’ve found mammoths who were flash-frozen in like under an hour, with flowers still in their mouths and stomach, I think it’s entirely reasonable to consider that possibility
I believe a similar map exists from the same time period for Antarctica as well
