LDS Apostle Orson Pratt taught that the earth was literally divided during the days of Peleg.

"Enoch, the seventh from Adam, who lived contemporary with his old ancestor, and others who were called by him, went forth and gathered out the righteous from all the nations, and as there was no Atlantic Ocean in those days rolling between the eastern and western continents, they could gather together by land from Asia, Africa and Europe. In those days the earth was not divided as it was after the flood, in the days of Peleg. In that gathering many came from the ends of the earth. Adam might have been among the emigrating companies, if not, then, he most probably had his residence at that central place of gathering. Let this be as it may, it is not revealed."

Mormons are a very imaginative people. This is highly creative nonsense.
I don't think that Orson Pratt knew about the heat problem.

Don't bash him too hard. He rebuffed Brig for decades over the Adam/God thingy.

He was kinda of a smart guy back then. Except for the polygamy thing.
