question about the first episode

[Rocksy]

if it was widey established that antarctica wasn't the south pole during the time of the anicents, then why in the opening scene does Atlantis take off and leave from a massive ice covered escarpment???

[General Jumper One]

they are leaving because of the ice and the plague

[thekillman]

there are things like ice ages, periods of snow etc.


mountaintops in zwitserland are covered with ice, even in the summer.
