By 33,000 years ago, the Last Glacial Maximum began, with large ice sheets covering Europe and North America, and sea levels 120 meters lower than today.
However, the rise of about 130 meters occurred over thousands of years, primarily at the end of the last glacial maximum, around 10,000 years ago.
During the Last Glacial Maximum around 33,000 years ago, an ice sheet covered the North Sea, making Doggerland uninhabitable for humans.
Carlson points to evidence of fossils and shallow-water creatures found at depths of over 1,000 meters, suggesting that this area was above sea level around 12,000 years ago, during the last glacial maximum.
By 33,000 years ago, the Last Glacial Maximum began, with large ice sheets covering Europe and North America, and sea levels 120 meters lower than today.
Around 20,000 years ago, during the Last Glacial Maximum, large ice sheets covered significant portions of North America, Europe, and Asia.
The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is the peak cold phase of the last ice age, when ice sheets were near their greatest extent and global sea level was much lower than today.
