In a study published recently in Geology, researchers announce the discovery of a fossilized tropical forest in Svalbard.
Fossils of a tropical forest have been discovered in the Arctic. The tropical tree fossils that were discovered in the Arctic were the same types of trees that would have been found around the equator 380 million years ago.

An illustrated visit to the tropical arctic of 205 million years ago when Greenland was green. While today’s Greenland is largely covered in ice, in the time of the dinosaurs the area was a lushly forested, tropical zone. Tropical Arctic tracks a ten-million-year window of Earth’s history when global temperatures soared and the vegetation of the world responded.

FAQ – 💬
❓ Are there tropical forests in the Arctic?
Fossilized Tropical Forests Found In Arctic. This is what Svalbard looks like today, but millions of years ago, the landscape and climate were very different.
❓ What are the remains of an ancient tropical forest?
Chris Berry and other researchers from Cardiff University found tropical tree stumps–the remains of an ancient tropical forest–during field work in the frigid latitudes. 380 million years ago, the continents were in vastly different places. The solid part of the Earth that we live on is broken into sections called tectonic plates.
❓ Was there ever a tropical forest in Svalbard?
Svalbard, Norway is known for it’s splendid Arctic scenery, frigid weather and polar bears. But it wasn’t always like this. In a study published recently in Geology, researchers announce the discovery of a fossilized tropical forest in Svalbard.
❓ What are the characteristics of the tropical rainforest?
The Tropical Rainforest made up about 14 percent of the Earth’s surface. It has mountains, valleys, flood plains, streams, rivers, and a little bit of wetlands. The tropical rainforests are home to a wide variety of plants and animals, including many species of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, insects, birds and fish.
