The last glacial stage (the Devensian) in northwest England
During the early Devensian, ice formed only in Cumbria. By 22,000 BP the northwest of England was covered by ice emanating from Scotland and the Lake District. The ice sheet was warmbased, with subglacial water movement within tunnel valleys. As the climate warmed the ice receded northwards, leaving...
