A marine refugium in Iceland during the last glacial maximum: fact or fiction?
Although several authors have postulated coastal ice‐free areas during the last glacial maximum in Iceland, where some species may have survived, the geological evidence strongly indicates that there were none. Also, the species involved are mostly not found in the high arctic today, and are therefo...

| Summary: | Although several authors have postulated coastal ice‐free areas during the last glacial maximum in Iceland, where some species may have survived, the geological evidence strongly indicates that there were none. Also, the species involved are mostly not found in the high arctic today, and are therefore unlikely to have endured conditions in frigid glacial refugia. |
