Lemuria

Lemuria is a hypothetical "lost land" between India and Madagascar whose existence was effectively eliminated by plate tectonics. 
"Modern bathymetry showed a large underwater plateau in the southern Indian Ocean; drilling brought up rocks that had been formed on dry land. For all the wrong reasons, the 19th-century geologist had been right. There once was a Greenland-sized mini-continent in the area, driven up by a hotspot under the oceanic crust then subsiding 20 million years ago when the hotspot moved on."
In realities where this mini-continent is above water it is always found at about latitude 48 degrees south (at one end) to just inside the Antarctic Circle in the south.
