And there are glaciers which have recently retreated to reveal fully grown trees under the glacier:

Receding Swiss glaciers incoveniently reveal 4000 year old forests – and make it clear that glacier retreat is nothing new

The trees, ruins, the Viking Greenland settlements, and of course, Otzi the iceman, are damning proof that alarmist's claims about past temperatures are crap.

“An ancient forest has thawed from under a melting glacier in Alaska and is now exposed
to the world for the first time in more than 1,000 years
.

“Stumps and logs have been popping out from under southern Alaska’s Mendenhall Glacier — a 36.8-square-mile (95.3 square kilometers) river of ice flowing into a lake near Juneau — for nearly the past 50 years. However, just within the past year or so, researchers based at the University of Alaska Southeast in Juneau have noticed considerably more trees popping up, many in their original upright position and some still bearing roots and even a bit of bark, the Juneau Empire first reported last week.”

.... in Peru Lonnie Thompson found

Ancient plant beds have been newly uncovered as the ice retreats. The first were discovered in 2002, more are uncovered each year, and carbon dating indicates that most have been buried for at least 5,000 years.

Oetzi died during this period, his final resting spot was exposed 5500 years after his death.

There's several good documentaries and online data on the Viking settlements in Greenland, Iceland, other settlements.

What kind of documentaries......ones that described Greenland having palm trees?
