Earth's Lost Islands

Just a few thousand years ago, massive glaciers stretched across much of the planet's surface ushering in a period known as the "last glacial maximum." During this time sea levels were up to 120 meters (400 ft) lower than they are now, exposing huge expanses of continental shelf and bringing potentially millions of island briefly above the ocean. Some of the biggest of these islands were around for thousands of years, long enough to have impacted human history, only to sink back beneath the water before the modern day. Today we're hunting down some of these lost lands to see what they can teach us about human history!
