#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR. Researchers from Connecticut College have recently announced an exciting discovery in ancient lake deposits in northwestern Canada. They found fossilized palm trees that lived 48 million years ago, as reported by the Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
This discovery supports the idea that, at that time, the Canadian Arctic was ice-free and home to a thriving temperate ecosystem.
Additionally, it has been reported that winter temperatures in the Arctic have been rising since 2005. Fossilized remains of the steppe saiga have also been found along the coast of Taimyr.
