Destructive pulses of chronal waves were released in 21st century Sydney, Australia each time the Skith attempted to operate their SKARDIS, since it was an imperfect version of the Doctor's TARDIS created by the Skith from the Tenth Doctor's stolen knowledge. The effects of these chronal waves included aging the crew and passengers of a plane by hundreds of years, freezing Sydney in ice from the Ice Age, and bringing dinosaurs and mammoths to the present.
