Around 27,000 years ago, inwards the final H2O ice age, northern U.K. as well as Republic of Ireland was to a greater extent than oftentimes than non covered past times ice. The kilometer thick H2O ice sheets that covered U.K. had a lasting comport upon on much of Britain's subsequent geography. You tin straightaway explore the H2O ice corridors as well as glacial lakes of H2O ice historic menses U.K. on Sheffield University's BRITICE interactive map.
The BRITICE Glacial Map is an interactive map created past times the Department of Geography at the University of Sheffield. The map is built on over 100 years of written report into the final H2O ice historic menses including over 1,800 scientific publications. The map shows what U.K. looked similar during the final H2O ice age. It includes over 170,000 landforms, including moraines, crags, H2O ice dammed lakes as well as subglacial ribs as well as lineations.
These dissimilar geographical features are color-coded on the map. For event large glacial lakes, similar the ones roofing Manchester, Doncaster as well as Peterborough, are colored blueish on the map. While, subglacial rib areas, similar the i stretching across Northern Republic of Ireland as well as the Republic of Ireland, are shaded yellow.
