Many dinosaur fossils have recently been discovered at polar latitudes. Warm-climate vegetation is also found at these latitudes. However, general circulation climate models consistently show that mid and high latitude continental areas would be very cold in winter during the Cretaceous and early Tertiary. This contradictory information is difficult for the uniformitarian scientist to explain. The creationist model offers at least three possible solutions to this mystery. One solution is especially emphasized because it also provides a possible solution to two creationist problems: 1) billions of dinosaur tracks found around the world and 2) dinosaur nests with newly hatched baby dinosaurs. Both of these events occurred on top of thousands of meters of Flood sediment. It is proposed that a strip of land, roughly paralleling the continental divide of North America, was temporarily exposed during the first 150 days of the Flood.
