I live in the Netherlands, which has a province reclaimed from the sea in the 20th century. You'd be surprised how many documentaries of "Europe during the ice ages" etc show this province (Flevoland) on their maps. Always makes me chuckle.
- smegger001 2y agoWell I know may previously low lying areas become inundated by the sea after the ice age ended. I thats the case with Doggerland which was believed to be inhabited previously and now is home to fish. I wonder if some of the reclaimed land in your country was previously above the water table before being flooded by rising sea levels before being reclaimed by man?
- throw310822 2y agoYes, the entirety of the Netherlands was hundreds of kilometres inland during the last ice age, up to 10000 years ago. So I guess it should have been all solid land, Flevoland included. Here's a map of what the region would have looked like: https://www.ecomare.nl/en/discover-ecomare-on-texel/expositions/doggerland/ https://www.ecomare.nl/en/discover-ecomare-on-texel/expositi...
- jtwaleson 2y agoExactly. The ones that made me chuckle had a clear outline of the current province. Didn't keep notes so don't have any examples unfortunately.
