Last
glacial
period |
The last glacial period was the most recent glacial period within
the current ice age, occurring in the Pleistocene epoch. It began
about 110,000 years ago and ended between 10,000 and 15,000 BP.
During this period there were several changes between glacier
advance and retreat. The maximum extent of glaciation was
approximately 18,000 years ago. While the general pattern of global
cooling and glacier advance was similar, local differences in the
development of glacier advance and retreat make it difficult to
compare the details from continent to continent (see picture of ice
core data below for differences).
The last glacial period is sometimes colloquially referred to as
the last ice age, though this use is incorrect because an ice age
is a longer period of cold temperature in which ice sheets cover
large parts of the Earth. Glacials, on the other hand, refer to
colder phases within an ice age that separate interglacials.
The last glacial period is the best-known part of the current ice
age, and has been intensively studied in North America, northern
Eurasia, the Himalaya and other formerly glaciated regions around
the world. The glaciations that occurred during this glacial period
covered many areas, mainly on the Northern Hemisphere and - to a
lesser extent - on the Southern Hemisphere. They have different
names, historically developed and depending on their geographic
distributions: Fraser, Pinedale, Wisconsinian (in North America),
Devensian (in the British Isles), Midlandian (in Ireland), Würm (in
the Alps), Weichsel (or Vistula, in northern Central Europe),
Valdai in Eastern Europe and Zyryanka in Siberia, Llanquihue in
Chile and Otira in New Zealand.

Weichseleiszeit |
Die Weichseleiszeit, auch Weichselkaltzeit oder Weichselglazial,
ist die bisher jüngste der in Nordeuropa und im nördlichen
Mitteleuropa aufgetretenen Vergletscherungsphasen (Glazial) durch
das skandinavische Inlandeis während der letzten Eiszeit.
Namensgeber ist der Fluss Weichsel in Polen. Nach der
internationalen Gliederung, die auf den Sauerstoff-Isotopenstufen
beruht, beginnt die Weichseleiszeit in der Stufe 5.4 und endet mit
dem Ende der Isotopenstufe 2. Die Vergletscherungen im Alpenraum,
die ungefähr im selben Zeitraum stattfanden, werden als Würmeiszeit
bezeichnet. Quelle: Wikipedia
In der Nähe der Koordinaten findet ihr eine Infotafel, dort könnt
ihr die Antworten finden.
Ein Besuch im Eiszeitmuseum von Schleswig-Holstein lohnt sich auch.

Um diesen Cache zu loggen müsst
ihr vor Ort ein Foto von Euch vor der Infotafel mit Eurem GPSr
machen.
>> Die Lösungen
sollten aber bitte nicht auf dem Foto zu erkennen sein ;-).

Bitte mailt uns die Antworten der folgenden Fragen:
1. Was wäre Schleswig Holstein ohne die Eiszeit in Bezug auf die
Landwirtschaft?
2. Wie hoch war der Geröllberg aus Skandinavien im
Durchschnitt?
Viel Spaß
