Description

Heres a possible map of our world, 250 million years in the future, requested by :iconamongthesatanic: This is a map of the terrain of this future world, showing the arrangements of the continents (such as there are, what with this being a Pangean world) and the placement of mountains, icecaps and oceans.

The world is in the mid-glacial, like our own, but there is no longer a continent at the south pole; there isn't much of anything at the south pole in fact, only millions of square miles of sea-ice surrounded by great frigid circling currents, unbroken in their path around the pole. There is land at the north pole, however, as most of Eurasia has continued pushing northward over the eons, and a hefty ice cap sags over thousands of miles of what was once Finland, Siberia and Alaska.
The Himalayas have been worn away to lower Alp-like mountains; they were once down to foothills, after India stopped pushing north - they were only pushed back up by the breakaway margins of east Africa. The new "Roof of the World" is a great range which stretches from the 10km high ice-capped peaks formed by the Andes colliding with Mexico, to the great platau pushed up by Australia colliding with the Canadian Rockies.

Most of the rest should be pretty self-explanatory :) Feel free to ask any questions or comments.
