Planet Earth 600 million years ago following the Cryogenian period
This is how the Earth may have appeared 600 million years ago following the Cryogenian Snowball Earth period. The worldwide glaciers have melted and the ocean is largely liquid again. During this, the Ediacaran period, it is hypothesized that all of the Earths landmasses had merged into a single supercontinent known as Pannotia, also known as the Vendian supercontinent. Surrounding this massive landmass is the vast Panthalassic Ocean, also known as Panthalassa.
While the ocean was home to a variety of evolving multicellular life forms including the ubiquitous Dickinsonia costata, it is not believed that life had moved to dry land with possible exception of bacteria and other microbial colonies

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time, 600 million years ago, to a period following the Cryogenian Snowball Earth phenomenon. As the glaciers melted away, revealing a liquid ocean once again, the Earth underwent significant changes during the Ediacaran period. It is believed that all of the planet's landmasses had merged into one colossal supercontinent known as Pannotia or Vendian. Stretching around this massive landmass lies the vast Panthalassic Ocean, also referred to as Panthalassa. While life forms were evolving in these waters, such as the enigmatic Dickinsonia costata, it is thought that terrestrial life was limited to bacteria and other microbial colonies. In this awe-inspiring image captured by Walter Myers from Stocktrek Images, we witness our planet's ancient history unfold before our eyes. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life this prehistoric era when plate tectonics and continental drift shaped our world. The photograph serves as a reminder of how Earth has transformed over millions of years through processes like seafloor spreading and glacial movements. It showcases not only the beauty of nature but also highlights humanity's fascination with understanding our origins and unraveling the mysteries of evolution. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing snapshot from space artistry, we are transported back in time to an era where continents collided and oceans stretched endlessly across our globe – a testament to both geological forces at play and the ever-changing nature of our planet throughout its long history.
