==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In the [[Director]]s of ''[[Forsaken]]'' and ''[[Shadowkeep]]'', Earth is seen rotating the correct way, however the continents appeared backwards. This is easily seen when looking at the orientation of  Greenland and Canada in [[:File:DirectorShadowkeep.jpg|this image]].
*Earth's continents were backwards in the [[Director]] between the releases of ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]]'', and ''[[Beyond Light]]''.
*The continent of Antarctica is believed to be a myth according to the [[Chromatic Fire]] lore, implying it may have ceased to exist physically.
*The Lore tab for the [[Chromatic Fire]] implies that the continent of Antarctica may no longer exist, or that is believed to be a myth.
