I'm assuming that if water was not ice, it must be either vapor/steam or in liquid form resting easily in rivers or oceans. I don't see a problem with this.

Q: What did the world really look like in 1531?

A: Probably just greener.

Sorry to disappoint Mr. Gore and friends, but climate change appears to have been patented several million years ago... which is when Antarctica became covered in ice...

So the mystery is, how did PeeWEE come understand that there was a landmass beneath the ice, keeping in mind this was before the invention of radars and satellite imagery? Have historians misread his map or was technology in the 16th century more advanced than we know?
