Eduard Vasilievich Toll, considering the fact of the discovery of Miocene plants in different parts of the Arctic and the location of the northernmost places of their location in a crooked way, asymmetric relative to the North Pole, voiced the hypotheses of other scientists trying to explain this phenomenon.
I have downloaded some pictures giving an idea of the Miocene plants.
The forest is similar to the forest of the middle lane
With some southern bias
Locations of the Miocene: the land of King Charles, Spitsbergen, the eastern and western shores of Greenland, the land of Grinnell, the land of Banks, the Sith Island, in Alaska, Kamchatka, 67 ° at the mouth of the Lena.
Toll does not include his findings at 75 ° in this list, apparently for the reason that they do not really fit into the concept of the hypothesis. I marked the places of finds with Christmas trees - it turns out a clear ellipse: if you forget about the Sith Island, but it is located clearly to the south, so its role can only be to increase the minor axis of the ellipse, which I did with the yellow line.
The major axis coincides with the Ferro meridian. And here scientists began to think that the North Pole, geographically, at the time of prosperity of the finds, was in a different place, different from its present position. Toll voices versions of two scientists, Neymeyer and Nathorst, about the pole shift along this meridian
Here is a diagram made on Yerf and a diagram posted in the 1899 edition, where Toll's diary was posted.
In addition to the tall birches found by Gedenstrom at 72 ° N. and 27-meter alder, by Toll himself, at 75 ° N, he names other, more amazing finds: the fruits of a mammoth tree (sequoia), taxodia leaves and, as he puts it, the rest. It was these findings that caused Toll to criticize the hypotheses of Neymeier and Nathorst.
At the same time, E. V. Toll recognizes the importance of such developments in clarifying the truth.
Thus, it can be emphasized that science in the 19th century more than thoroughly admitted the possibility of a pole shift. The reason, in this case, is also interesting, which prompted the scientists' minds to promote the shift versions.

Many, studying the history of Russia or Russia, argue, defending their interests about what they previously heard from someone or read from some sources that life was good or bad before, or, say, that before the revolution the peasants lived very well, but the landowners were fattening and from that the people rebelled … And so on and so forth
