America and Eurasia 'to meet at north pole'

[dipsydoodle]

America and Eurasia will crash into each other over the north pole in 50-200 million years time, according to scientists at Yale University.

They predict Africa and Australia will join the new "supercontinent" too, which will mark the next coming together of the Earth's land masses.

The continents are last thought to have come together 300 million years ago into a supercontinent called Pangaea.

Details are published in the journal Nature.

Hey, maybe this won't be so bad! If the Russian bring the Vodka and the Canadian bring the whiskey, it could be a hell of a party!
