Yeah I figured I was stretching believability with having those two mountain ranges, I mostly just drew them in for the rule of cool, with the weak excuse of it being more geologically active = wacky tectonics.

"From the same area you have a cold and hot current diverging. It would make sense if they converged there.... A warm current starting from a polar region seems a bit odd (this also happens on the easternmost side)" - That's because they're only warm currents relative to where they came from, I'm sure the currents themselves are cold but since it's traveling to were the ocean's even colder it's a warm current Edit. forget my answer to the first question this answer applies to both
