This is the micro-continent of Antillia, part of a wider altgeo universe which include other Macronesian islands....
Latitude-wise Antillia, including it's offshore islands reach from roughly 50'N at it's northernmost tip to 25'N in the far south. It has a spine of large mountains along it's length, the Corvos Mountains, as well as along the centre, the Azorean Mountains. Bother were the result of volcanic activity and uplift from the drift of Antillia away from Iberia after 50mya.
My conception of the climate of Antillia is that it has a mild and wet climate overall, moderated by the Atlantic, gradated as more temperate in the north and more sub-tropical in the south with montane habitats in elevated regions. Any ideas to contribute from you guys though? What would the ocean current around Antillia be like based on current models in the North Atlantic? What effects would these have on Antillia's climate?
