Having traveled less than one-third distance and with the tropical forests of Siberia now behind them and having bypassed a large rift valley they dubbed the Tethys Rift, the expedition is now entering what will one day become Europe as they try to find a path south into future Canada.

Thanks to the sponsorship of Time Inc, the Imago Mundi Society and vehicle supplier Forota, join us now as the Pangeans travel from sea to shining sea.”

The camera pans around the three figures standing in the middle of the glade of giant tree ferns. About them flitters various insects, with their tiny bodies glowing in the darkening evening sky.

“This was unexpected,” one of the figures exclaims, catching one of the insects in a glass vial and then putting the vessel up to his tiny eye magnifier, a loupe, usually used by jewelers. “As I thought, these are not naturally bioluminescent.” Dr. William Clarence, the group’s entomologist, gathers a few more specimens in similar vials and hands them out to the other two.

“These could be handy if you ever lose your torch.” “If they’re not naturally luminescent like a firefly, why would they be glowing?” one of the figures in the dark asks.
