@ericsalles3393 Yup. That ice had to be meters thick within 9° of the Equator. Even during the glacial maximum there were still tropical zones with jungles

@bellakaldera3305 It's possible there was a dry land connection with points west, possibly even Timor to the Southeast. It all depends on just how deep the channels are between the islands. For the you need a depth chart. Even then Indonesia is one of the most geological active areas on the planet. The may have been uplift and subsidence. During the Glacial Maximum the sea levels where so much lower that there was a large area of dry land in the region
