So Antarctic surface waters became ice free 10,000 years ago - only after Atlantis was supposedly destroyed .....  They were not ice free when Plato said Atlantis was at war with Athens.  Not that this study has any relevance to the land surface which was very much ice covered, though as today some coastal fringes would simply have been bitterly cold.

Anyway, of interest, the Arctic Ocean was probably ice free in summer around the same time.

This was the height of the Holocene Climatic Optimum - before the neoglacial set it.
