In his book "The Path of the Pole",
Professor Charles Hapgood
writes:
"I have found evidence of three
different positions of the North Pole in recent time.
During the last glaciation of the North America, the
pole appears to have stood in Hudson Bay, approximately
in Latitude 60 degrees North and Longitude 83 degrees
West. It seems to have shifted to its present site
in the middle of the Arctic Ocean about 12,000 years
ago.
The radioactive dating methods further suggest that
the pole came to Hudson Bay about 50,000 years ago,
having been located before that time in the Greenland
Sea, approximately in Latitude 73 degrees North an
Longitude 10 degrees East. Thirty thousand years earlier
the pole may have been in the Yukon District of Canada."
If the North Pole changes, the South Pole changes also.
Hapgood writes the following:
"Powerful confirmation of another
of the corollaries of a pole located in Hudson Bay
comes from Antarctica. With a North Pole at 60 degrees
North Latitude and 83 degrees West Longitude, the
corresponding South Pole would have been located at
60 degrees South and 97 degrees East in the ocean
off the Mac-Roberston Coast of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica.
This would place the South Pole about seven times
farther away from the head of the Ross sea in Antarctica
than it is now (see the figure). We should expect,
then, that the Ross Sea would not have been glaciated
at that time.
We have confirmation of precisely this fact…"
