How modern Arctic research supports Charles Hapgood’s theory of Earth Crust Displacement

As discussed in some of my previous articles, and in my book, Polar Wandering and the Cycle of Ages, Charles Hapgood’s theory of Earth Crust Displacement (ECD) actually originated in the nineteenth century. For those unfamiliar with Hapgood’s work, he claimed that Ice Ages come and go due to the earth’s ‘crust’ (lithosphere) sliding as a whole over the fluid layers below, in the asthenosphere, moving places in and out of the polar regions.

Otherwise the paper is exactly the same as the original. Kyle Bennett...

Journeying into the frozen wastes of the far north, nineteenth century explorers found the remains of strange animals, buried under the permafrost. One such explorer was the German geologist Baron von Toll, who travelled through Siberia and to the Arctic islands on behalf of the Russian Academy of Sciences, bringing ...

There are a lot of articles on the internet detailing the histories of the ideas of polar wandering and
earth crust displacement. These are all, however, wrong and largely ignorant of the basic facts. The only person currently writing a remotely accurate history of this subject is me, here on this website, and in my book Polar Wandering and the Cycle of Ages. As mentioned in earlier posts, all other commentators are completely unaware of how the theory of earth crust displacement was developed...
