Scientists Discover Hidden Ancient Forest on Treeless Island

Scientists have recently discovered evidence of a hidden ancient forest on the treeless Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean. The discovery was made by Dr. Zoë Thomas during fieldwork in 2020, where she found tree trunks indicating ancient vegetation. The fossils suggest that the island once had a thriving forest, although no trees have grown there for tens of thousands of years, with only shrubs and other low-lying vegetation present now.
