The White Island: Antarctica

"Fundamentally, in counting any annual marker, we must ask whether it is absolutely unequivocal, or whether nonannual events could mimic or obscure a year. For the visible strata (and, we believe, for any other annual indicator at accumulation rates representative of central Greenland), it is almost certain that variability exists at the subseasonal or storm level, at the annual level, and for various longer periodicities (2-year, sunspot, etc.). We certainly must entertain the possibility of misidentifying the deposit of a large storm or a snow dune as an entire year or missing a weak indication of a summer and thus picking a 2-year interval as 1 year." -- Alley, R.B. et al., Visual-Stratigraphic Dating of the GISP2 Ice Core: Basis, Reproducibility, and Application, Journal of Geophysical Research, Volume 102, Number C12, Pages 26, 367–26, 381, 1997.

Ok. Lets say there's an error margin of half. 50% That means Antarctica would have been covered in ice for seven and a half million years instead of 15 million. Even if we give an error margin of 75%, it would mean Antarctica has been covered in ice for 3,750,000 years.

To assume this margin error, we have to assume that all the scientists who have worked on studying the Antarctic, are ALL 50-75% in error. I don't think so.

However, the point is, Atlantis supposedly sunk 11,500 years ago. Antarctic is not sunk and was covered in ice in the time frame Plato talks about.
