| Description |
The map shows the probable extend of land and water at the time of the last glacial maximum about 18000 years ago (= 16000 ante Christum), when the sea level was prabably more than 150m lower than today, as well as the remaining distances from the Sahul Shelf (whose part Australia is) to the next Indonesien island (Timor). The map also indicates glaciated areas (e.g. Southern Aotearoa, Tasmania, Australian Alps, Antarctic), however, the actual extent of the glaciers in Australia and Tasmania was probably significantly smaller than this map suggests. |
