Substrata is an interactive map that lets you travel through geological deep time and human history. Drag the map to any location on Earth, then slide back millions of years to see ancient continents, vanished oceans, and the creatures that lived there.
Explore paleogeographic reconstructions, ice-age coastlines, and the cultural layers left by civilisations from the Neolithic to the modern era — all in one seamless view.
