And, you know, in the Atlantic, once you sail out of the Straits of Gibraltar, you've got Madeira right there. And then beyond that, you've got the Azores. And during the Ice Age, the Azores would have been much larger because of lowered sea level. And I would argue also much larger because of isostatic movement.

Because when the ice is melting, most of that ice, all of the ice of the Laurentide Ice Sheet ends up in the Atlantic. The ice of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet all ended up in the Pacific. But so you had major drainage into the Arctic Ocean via the McKenzie River Valley. the Hudson River Valley into the North Atlantic, or the St.

Lawrence Seaway, rather, into the North Atlantic, and then you had the Mississippi River into the Gulf of Mexico. Well, all of those end up in the Atlantic Ocean. And there is evidence, we didn't talk about Atlantis at all, but there is evidence that there was a fairly significant isostatic shift

compensation because as North America, Canada area is rising because of the release from the glaciers, all that weight is being dumped into the Atlantic. And, you know, the thinnest crust on the earth is this mid-Atlantic ridge area. And that would be an area where you would probably concentrate major vertical crustal shifts.

It just so happens that the Azores are the peaks of mountains that are sitting on what's referred to as a microcontinent. that's sitting a mile and a half under the ocean at that point. And it's just maybe almost not quite the size of Iceland. But it sits flanking astride the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. And I've got a whole presentation that I've done on Atlantis going through Plato's account.

in Timaeus and Critias line by line, analyzing whether his geology and his geography and his astronomy and so on is consistent and makes sense, and it does. It does. And what really initially... inspired me to reread that, which I had read a long time ago, was realizing that Meltwater Pulse 1B precisely aligned with Plato's account of Atlantis 11,600 years ago.

Oh, okay, so Atlantis supposedly subsided. It was this great seismic event. It subsided 9,000 years prior to Solon's journey to Egypt. Or 9,000, you know, give or take a decade or a few decades. And then we see there's meltwater pulse 1B, which was a very rapid rise of sea level, which would have been enough, presumably, to elicit a isostatic response.
