Damn! You've convinced me that I should take notes and beep a note book.
My days of keeping everything in my head is gone forever.
There was a book written on this subject a few years ago. Perhaps a subject search on Amazon.com will yield results.
LOL. I know that feeling. I do keep a little note book on these issues that interest me. Thanks anyway.
Do a search on the Piri Reis Map.

The book you're thinking of is
"When the Sky Fell : In Search of Atlantis "
by Rand Flem-Ath, and Rose Flem-Ath,
published in 1997
There are map drawlings detailing the shifts of the poles,
and showing the locations of former poles
based on oceanographic magnetic readings.
Flem-Ath theorizes that the south pole ice cap
gets too off-center, causing the "wobble" of the earth
to increase, and then that causes the south polar ice cap
to break loose from it's anchor point.
When that much mass is suddenly
released, the poles shift.
His theory neatly explains the Ice Ages, too.
Interestingly, Clive Cussler wrote "Atlantis Found,"
a novel based on this theory,
where bad guys discover evidence of Atlantis,
and his hero Dirk Pitt has to stop the bad guys
from destroying our civilization by shifting the poles.
