The map, which was created by the British Geological Survey (BGS), shows the extent of ice cover during the last glacial maximum (LGM), when ice sheets covered much of northern Europe and North America.
The LGM was a period of extreme cold that lasted for about 10,000 years. During this time, the ice sheets grew to their largest size, and sea levels dropped by about 120 meters (394 feet).
The interactive map allows users to explore the extent of ice cover at different times during the LGM. Users can also view the elevation of the land surface at the time, and the location of major ice streams.
The map is a valuable resource for researchers and educators studying the history of the British Isles. It can also be used by members of the public who are interested in learning more about the last ice age.
