💨 Abstract

German geologists have discovered the first-ever amber in Antarctica, which suggests lush rainforests thrived near the South Pole 90 million years ago. The nuggets offer insights into environmental conditions in West Antarctica and indicate how a forest in Pine Island might have worked. Further analysis will confirm whether the fragments inside the nugget are pieces of tree bark, providing more details about Antarctica's ancient forests.
