ABSTRACT

During the Middle and Late Pleistocene, the Scandinavian Ice Sheets repeatedly covered the northern half of The Netherlands and Germany, most of Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Belarus, a small part in the north of the Czech Republic and the northern parts of Ukraine and Russia (Fig. 8.1). This chapter focuses on the southern part of the area glaciated by the Scandinavian Ice Sheets, between 49°N and 60°N, 3°E and 30°E.
