This particular image was taken looking west from the flight path, on the north shore of Scoresbysund.

I appreciate your thoughts on this....Thanks, Brian<br /><br />I appreciate your thoughts on this. Current accepted thinking by geologists and archeologists alike is that Salisbury Plain was never glaciated too. Contrary to your claims and common sense. Not too far at Dartmoor west and south of Salisbury Plain we now know ice existed during the Younger Dryas –- thanks to the work of Stephan Harrison and others. So who knows what science will reveal about the geomorphology of Salisbury Plain back then in the future.<br /><br />My sense tells me 'local ice cover'. Your expertise tells you not!<br /> <br />KostasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228690739485734684.post-61058799065576586792012-07-11T08:05:14.855+01:002012-07-11T08:05:14.855+01:00Both the timing and the process, Kostas.

The geographical and glaciological conditions were very different.BRIAN JOHNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00413447032454568083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228690739485734684.post-35352884385990213652012-07-10T22:55:18.579+01:002012-07-10T22:55:18.579+01:00Perhaps my timing is off?

During the Younger Dryas, the evidence shows that the glaciers which did exist were all in the high mountains of the British Isles, well away from the coast.BRIAN JOHNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00413447032454568083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228690739485734684.post-70680335718464404362012-07-10T20:14:48.679+01:002012-07-10T20:14:48.679+01:00Brian quoting from your post,

And could these glaciers advancing over Preseli have entrained erratics onto the frozen sea surface to later be carried to Salisbury Plain?<br /><br />Interesting!<br /><br />KostasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
