   I want a map! I found this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sciencephoto.com&#x2F;media&#x2F;167017&#x2F;view" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sciencephoto.com&#x2F;media&#x2F;167017&#x2F;view Is it the correct map? Is there a land (ice?) bridge between Newfoundland and Portugal? Am I interpreting it correctly?

      I would think so yes. But not an authority on this.

      The map is super cool though. Makes you think of the earth as something still aging since it looks clearly “earth” but with major differences.
