After the Ice ....22 years on

Inspired by the series 'Britain from Above' which has been recently shown, the BBC are making available on their website some archived programmes featuring 'aerial journeys'.

One of these which you might like to watch as a resource to support your work on glaciation is from the 'Living Isles' series which was first broadcast in 1986 (seems just like yesterday!!) Click the image below to link .....

The episode is called 'After the Ice' and has the following synopsis ...."Britain was once covered in ice, with glaciers over a mile deep and ice caps as far south as London. With an eagle's eye view, this programme illustrates how ice shaped the landscape, and how forests evolved and ancient lakes remained after the ice retreated."
