Description: A map showing Australia and the Western Pacific in the Glacial Age (the Maximum of the Fourth Ice Age, about 50,000 years ago — Wells). While the waters were held up in the polar ice caps, the sea–level was low enough to enable Paleolithic people to reach Tasmania. The map shows the 100–fathom line as the suggested coast line during this period.
