在有恐龙存活的年代,南极洲还是一片温暖、不会结冰的大陆,其位置要比现在的位置往北并更靠近赤道。冰棘龙是1.95亿年前早侏罗纪的一种肉食性恐龙,这里还生存着一些更古老的三叠纪爬行动物,例如水龙兽等,这两种动物化石都于20世纪90年代在南极洲的柯克帕特里克峰附近被人们发掘出来。南极洲的恐龙生活在低洼林地平原的河流旁。在恐龙灭绝了很久之后,地球气候开始变冷,冰川面积扩散,大陆板块移动,最终形成了今天的南极洲,那里的高山上一年四季都有常积不消的冰盖。 Antarctica is still a warm, ice-free continent, with its location further north and closer to the equator than it is now, in the days when dinosaurs were alive. Ice spine is a carnivorous dinosaur 195 million years ago in the early Jurassic, there are also surviving some of the older Triassic reptiles, such as water dragon, both animal fossils in the 1990s People have been excavated near Kirkpatrick in Antarctica. Dinosaurs in Antarctica live next to rivers in low-lying woodland plains. Long after the dinosaurs were extinct, the earth’s climate began to chill, the glacier’s area expanded and the continental plate moved. Eventually, Antarctica was formed today, where the mountains are often covered with ice sheets all year round.
