How much do we know about Stonehenge? Less than we think. And what has Stonehenge got to do with the Ice Age? More than we might think. This blog is mostly devoted to the problems of where the Stonehenge bluestones came from, and how they got from their source areas to the monument.

Britain's lost glaciers.....
Many thanks to Davey for drawing this to my attention. Very interesting indeed -- I was fascinated by the reconstructions, and I hope others will be too. This is a standard teaching technique in geomorphology -- I have always used it, since it's much easier for inexperienced people to "see" past landscapes by using analogies from elsewhere.
The nice thing about these examples is that Peter Roberts has used Photoshop to great effect, by adding glaciers where there are none today. It seems to me that he has been pretty careful too. Good work, that man!
