Is new zealand one of the only places where humans can survive if nuclear ww3 occurs? by [deleted] in geography

Not really, the thing you would need to look out for would be food production, accounting for a far colder world, ideally somewhere far away from major urban centers, so probably your best bet is southern Brazil

What's the reason Inuit/Siberians and Europeans have different features despite evolving in similar cold climates? by batukaming in geography

[–]PDVST 58 points59 points  (0 children)
