   For #SilentSunday , this was at
   Earth's South Pole 490 million years ago.*

   *according to the Rock'd app's continental paleoreconstruction for 490 million years ago.

   (So yes, there were ice sheets and glaciers in central and eastern North Carolina, but...about half a billion years ago.)
