Lost Continent of Argoland Rediscovered After 155 Million Years
Scientists believe they have discovered the lost continent of Argoland, which vanished over 115 million years ago. Argoland, which split off from Australia, is believed to be lying dormant under the Eastern islands of Southeast Asia. The discovery of traces of Argoland beneath the ocean has helped explain ecological differences in the region, such as the Wallace line, which separates Australian and Southeast Asian fauna. The continent broke into small fragments when it separated from Australia, obstructing views of its journey. The largest pieces potentially became small island masses off the coast of East Indonesia. This research has shed light on the history of Argoland and solved geographical mysteries in the region, providing a better understanding of the barriers between different wildlife species.
