As the Sangik migrations draw to a close the purer Andonites live in the extreme northern regions of Europe and in Iceland, Greenland, and northeastern North America. [1] Eastern America and western Europe were connected by the continent of Greenland. [2]
500,000,000 years ago primitive marine vegetable life was well established on Urantia. Greenland and the arctic land mass, together with North and South America, were beginning their long and slow westward drift. [3]
360,000,000 years ago the Gulf Stream coursed over the central portion of North America, being deflected eastward to bathe and warm the shores of Greenland, making that now ice-mantled continent a veritable tropic paradise. [4]
As the land rose, North America became connected with Europe by land bridges extending to Greenland. And today Greenland holds the remains of these early land plants beneath its mantle of ice. [5] The oldest mountains of the world are located in Asia, Greenland, and northern Europe. [6] North America was connected with Asia by the Bering Strait land bridge and with Europe by way of Greenland and Iceland. [7] 35,000,000 years ago extensive lava flows occurred in Greenland and Iceland, some coal being deposited between these layers. [8] Sequoias and magnolias grew in Greenland, but the subtropical plants were beginning to migrate southward. [9] Greenland was covered, and Iceland was completely buried beneath the ice flow. [10]
1,500,000 years ago the first great glacier was retreating northward. In the meantime, enormous quantities of snow had been falling on Greenland and on the northeastern part of North America. [11]
