So, after months of data collection, I'm happy to introduce you Antarctic Chronicles: a speculative evolution blog about Antarctica. This project will follow the evolutionary development of Antarctica, from an ice wasteland to a green continent full of life.

Where evolution meets science fiction and art. Speculative Evolution (also called Speculative Biology and Speculative Zoology) is the envisioning of fictional, but scientifically possible creatures that could have existed on an alternate Earth, or might actually exist somewhere on another planet or in the deep sea.

Rise of cursorial rodents: the stottmice - Antarctic Chronicles

Hard speculative evolution refers to strict adherence to the limitations of physics, chemistry, and biology to create plausible fictional organisms. Excessive hand-waving and fantasy elements are not permitted, creating a more challenging but ultimately rewarding endeavor that puts knowledge and understanding of the natural world at the forefront.
