Imagine a world where the oceans all dried up, leaving only dry land behind. NASA revealed a remarkable video showing what Earth would look like if the oceans drained

and formerly with NASA. Dr. O’Donoghue recreated the video at a much higher resolution, slowed down the animation to better see what the Earth looks like during the first 10’s of meters of draining and added a tracker to show how much water had been drained.

During the last glacial maximum , about 26,000 to 19,000 years ago, sea level was about 410 feet below its current level. The sea level was so much lower than it is today because a tremendous amount of the ocean’s water was locked away on top of continents and countries across the globe, from Antarctica to Greenland as well as northern North America and Europe.

Our ancestors migrated from continental Europe to the UK through land bridges, as well as from Alaska to the far eastern tip of Russia. Also, the land connecting North and South America was wider and thus easier to navigate between the two continents.

I'm watching GrayStillPlays, so I'm fairly up-to-date on the various ways Earth can get screwed. On a more serious note, that's why we have photos of Mars.

...and that's how the koalas got to Australia after leaving the ark.

As real as computer climate models 'predicting' a disastrous future due to climate change. Virtualism overwhelms reality.

This Woman Traveled To Every Country On Earth. Here’s How She Did It (And You Can, Too)I’m a travel and lifestyle authority and a content strategist who works with brands to create powerful storytelling. In this column, 'Transformative Travel,' I look at how travel can change women's lives. I profile the doers and the disrupters and cover the trends and the destinations that appeal to women today. I have been writing about travel since the early days of my career, when I started off as a honeymoon editor, even though — ironically — I was single at the time. Since then, I have written for a number of publications, including Food & Wine, Wallpaper and The New York Times. I have been the editor-in-chief of Yahoo Travel, which was named the top online travel magazine under my leadership. Before that, I was deputy editor of Travel & Leisure. Throughout my career, I have appeared regularly on television, including Good Morning America and NBC Today. Journalism is part of my heritage: My great great grandfather was a Civil War correspondent for the Chicago Tribune. Follow me on Twitter (laurabegley) and Instagram (laurabegleybloom). Carmen Sandiego? I think will follow suit If the countries stop judging me from my picture, and where I come from... i.e. allow me to get the visa... then it will be easy to do so! Unfair
