Snow Bridge
Wednesday, January 28th, 2004 12:31 pmIdea for a story:
The original humans on South America arrived on boats from Pacific islands. During the Ice Age, as Siberians crossed the Bering Strait to North America, the south polar ice cap was also engorged. Following game, some hardy South Americans crossed the Straits of Magellan onto the Antarctic Peninsula during the summers. But one year the ice bridge was sundered in twain, stranding a small tribe. Living on a diet of penguins killed by rocks the tribe slowly dwindled in numbers, eventually disappearing in a puff of snow, unknown to the rest of the world. Until one day a planefull of climatologists on an expotition came upon the archaelogical find of the decade.
