Has the geography of the world changed enough that entire lands and
continents have disappeared? Throughout history, a lot of people have
thought so. The drowned continent of Atlantis is the most famous of
these mysterious lands, but there are dozens of others.
Some of these lands may have disappeared due to erosion, ice melt and
tectonic plate shifts. Others could simply be the result of poor
navigation by sailors. But the stories of
lost lands linger on, appearing and reappearing at the edges of history and science.
