Description
The movie 2012, what can be said about it. Dumb action schlock, the kind of thing that Roland Emmerich makes. There's been a map or two about the differences and the world does seem geographically changed, but the extent is never fully clear. At one point it mentions that the Drakensberg Mountains of South Africa are now the highest mountains on Earth, and that Africa may not have experienced any flooding at all during the tidal waves, but the main point is that the world's crust just sorta slid over the mantle until settling back down at a point where, as described, the North Pole was in Wisconsin (though due to geomagnetic reversal it was now the South Pole). So irregardless of all other terrain changes, here's a view of that projected as a standard world map with south (now "North") at the top, with North America now forming what amounts to a new Antarctica. Nothing special going on here, just a thingy I made for the fun of it.
