Doggerland

Doggerland was a landscape that connected Great Britain to mainland Europe during the last Ice Age, around 20,000 years ago. It existed as a rich, fertile land, inhabited by prehistoric people and various wildlife before rising sea levels flooded it, creating the North Sea. Today, areas of Doggerland are submerged underwater, but archaeological findings suggest it was an important area for early humans. Researchers study this sunken land to understand human migration patterns and prehistoric ecosystems, providing valuable insights into our ancestors’ lives and the environmental changes that shaped human history.
