What glaciers left behind in the post-ice age in Scandinavia 

Yeah those boulders are everywhere

​@@sdfghgtrew even here in Schleswig-Holstern, northern Germany. Mostly a little smaller the 9x4

🤯 is this why you can see that water level change pretty much anywhere south east Sweden atleast?? I have been fascinated by it since i was a small child 30 years or so ago. Always noticed the band showing older water levels.

The rising sea levels due to climate change may become as much as 2cm/year at the end of the century. Although how this will affect water levels in the Baltic Sea and the Bay of Bothnia is to my knowledge unclear. The water levels in the Bay of Bothnia is about 40cm higher than the global average sea levels. Seems to be due to two reasons… The Sea/bay/lake is located on top of a continental shelf. So the gravitational pull is higher. “Attracting” more water. And the large rivers is continuously feeding the bay with fresh waters. The remaining glaciers feeding the rivers are however receding and will disappear, meaning the flow of water will become more chaotic and possibly also diminish. So if the land raising will “cancel” the global seawater levels raising in the area isn’t clear. It could likely go either way too: the water levels raise more, or the land raises more. To not is also that when the rivers now since a few decades back brings a massive amounts of artificial fertilizers to the water along the river mouths, it is a quite visible how this also contributes to “raise” the land. The vegetation increases with more reeds growing. Building up layers and layers of new soil in shallow water in especially bays and straits. Last year during high waters (not due to the gravitational pull from the moon in the Baltic sea… but due to winds, atmospheric pressure, and water temperatures) massive amounts of old reeds deposited on my property… In an instant “raising” the land about 20cm at places 😊. Although when decomposing, perhaps the end result will be a 1/10 of that.

@@Makabert.Abylon Pretty much. Gavle, the city famed for its Yule goat, was once completely submerged in water.

In estonia first settlement is 11000 years old, but there is data that say people were here over 12000 years ago and we also have thousands of lakes they are just smaller than in rest of North.

Exactly. I even wanted to turn off the video, but then it started about glaciers and sea level, so I watched it to the end

My own questions. I almost didn't watch the video because of all that meaningless trivia at the beginning. It gets better later.

@@LuisAldamiz it also kills with constant meter/feet units. would be much better if stick with one unit and show parallels in other

@@colinafobe2152 - True but in the reverse: why to use US units when nobody else understands them. However it's the lesser of my worries, I can understand why someone feels the need to constantly convert to US units: they are from that country and/or want to cater to audience from the transatlantic polity.

@@LuisAldamiz I dont mind US units as long as i can see metric written. but i really cant focus on one number when i hear in same time other number. english is not my native and i am sure there are other people who have same problem of constant numeral vertigo

"Suppose to change?" What? The climate is always changing. But when it's changing this fast, there is an abnormal cause. The cause now is human industrialization. The amount of brainwashing for the benefit of corporate profits you must have endured to dismiss this simple fact....

Thank you.

Not cm^2, it's cm^3 (Now what typo do I make). To put it in direct numbers there are 1 000 000 cm^3 per 1 m^3

AFAIK, also in EU/SI it is metres, like "metri" in my language. While in USA it is meters. Go figure why that is...

@@i7Qp4rQ Plenty of spelling and pronunciation differences between Brittish and American English. Personal opinion: it doesn't matter as long as people understand.

Yeah these AI robot translation/narrations often contain errors.

Yeah, monotone speech without carefully placed emphasis and recurring mispronunciations makes the robot voice tiring to those of us that already know much of the story from schoolbooks but want to hear the updated parts.

In some places in Sweden you can find huge rocks just laying around beneath large hills, I used to think they were from the ice age but apparently it's from former "Forborgar" so it's actually humans who've put them there! I just love our history here and it continues to amaze me

million. The common unit is liquid water density around 1 kg/l = 1g/cm³ = 1 ton/m³ .

Like John doe said it's a million so it's a enormous diffrence and it's so big when scaled up to the land mass we are talking about that it's almost impossible to imagine. It's like talking about the speed of light but saying sound, light travels 186k miles per second while sound travels 1 mile in 5 seconds.

This video is mostly about geography related to ice age. In that sense parts of Russia is included too. And that's why the term Fennoscandia is used.

It’s around 0.92 grams .

@@geonomad1 per cubic cm, not meter

sorry ! yes per cubic cm is correct.

@@geonomad1 please consider 1 unit in narrative, other as written. it is extremely distracting with all numbers

several times; cubic meter is used instead of cubic CENTImeter

Most likely, my family from paternal side living in Ostrobothnia in Finland is mostly from the northern migration even if I know from ancestry reaserch that our heritage is from Swedish side, moste likely from Uppland region. There are lot’s of archeological remains from Sami people living close north of Vaasa region. Always thoght that my ancestors ate mammoths😃 Even so we still have this crocked finger genes in our family that was common among Viking age Scandinavia. I think this gene was beneficial during viking age when those having the mutation had better chance surviving eating raw fresh fish, which I assume was needed travelling on the sea.

Interglacial period, right now the planet should cool down not warm up, we have broken the cycle

"makes me hAppy"

The ice sheet was not as large earlier. There were periods with not so cold climate during the long ice age period. There are similar findings in the middle of Sweden (in Dalarna) from 40 000 years ago, when the area was covered by forests. So I think the ice sheet expanded with time and reached its maximum towards the end of the ice age.

What people?

What human species?

There are still small remnants of the pre-ice age landscape in the Alps of Sunnmøre. Get as high as 1400-1500 meters, and the landscape flattens out some places, creating mountain plateaus. All soil is eroded and they are covered with flat stones. There should be a tiny theoretical chance of finding something there.

For Siberia, it just doesn't get that much precipitation, which is needed to amass the right amount of snow to form an ice sheet. The Norwegian Coast, on the other hand, is one of the wettest corners on earth. Don't even need to freeze all year to make glaciers uot there.

​@@reuireuiop0Weather patterns change over these time spans, especially the parts involving arctic ocean currents such as the Golf Stream.

​@@johndododoe1411 It's the Westerly winds in temperate regions, not the Gulf Stream, that brings the rains in from the West. As Europe and Fennoscandia, have an ocean to their West, there's always plenty of precipitation coming in. That Westerly is determined by the temp difference between tropics and poles plus the turning of earth on it's axis, that causes this general south Westerly airflow. Glacial rates hardly influence this. Btw - GeoNomad has a vid up on why Siberia and Beringia were not glaciated.

The trajectory of the Gulf Stream current is likely a key to that glaciation. As it's course moves West (as it might be right now) the Canadian Arctic warms up for a time, Scandinavia and Northwest Europe becomes much colder and the ice age may have started in Europe. As more sunlight is reflected back into space and the whole planet gets colder the Canadian Arctic ice advances deep into North America. Right now, the course of the Gulf Stream seems to be moving in a Westerly direction as the Mediterranean water becomes more saline as the Med Basin becomes hotter and drier. The more dense seawater outflow from the Med pushes the Gulf Stream away from Europe and more towards Greenland (speeding up glacial melting there). Scandinavia, British Isles should be gradually wetter and colder and in the extreme of the snow not melting one year the next ice advance starts in Scandinavia, again. We have a secret weapon this time though in the form of ridiculously high amounts of man-delivered carbon in our atmosphere.

@@abrahamdozer6273 I did not receive notifications. Here is a short video about this ridiculous amount of CO2. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bJfrKNR3K2k.html

Are they countries to?

@@brollyhessianovskov-ph1jc Lol :P

Denmark is part of scandinavia and was covered too and created by the icesheet

you guys are just jealous you're not part of Penoscandia

@@nippernappertton Why would we be jealous of something we are not?

The LGM was uninhabitable because it was covered in ice. However, earlier interglacials may have been inhabited by hominins such as Neanderthals. There was no ice then.

Pre ice age, there were ppl across the Nth Hemisphere, the Planet hadn't tipped off it's access yet .. The Whole Planet was Tropical, before the Iceage began 36k ya. Sweden was the Nth Pole. Until 11.8k ya. that's when the planet was tipped off it's Axis..

Nope you are right, Scandinavien is only 3 country, Sweden,Denmark,Norway. Fennoscandia is Sweden,Finland,Norway.

R1b is not generally Indoeuropean, R1a however generally is (but only in Europe, not in Asia). Western R1b appears to have spread from two centers: one in France, surely related to Artenacian and Bell Beaker expansion (their carriers also carried Basque-like autosomal genetics), the other further north, probably in Denmark or Low Germany and surely expanded a bit earlier with the Funnelbeaker macro-culture (only the megalithic part, not in Poland). Sadly the Gökheim sample (again with Basque-like autosomal genetics) is all women, so we don't have Y-DNA for the Nordic Neolithic. I1 also can't be pinpointed to any clear origin: it's too young. I2 is well known to be strongly associated to Paleoeuropeans but I1 is a mystery. N1 should be associated in Europe (along with EHG autosomal genetics and mtDNA C) with the expansion of Uralic peoples. Siberian indeed but a very specific kind of ancient Siberian. R1a is in Europe strongly associated to Indoeuropean expansion, appearing among the early Western Indoeuropeans (Corded Ware and successors) over and over and over again. Only R1a has that Indoeuropean association (in Europe).

The glacial maximum ended 11.8k ya. The mini Iceage were in today is no more than 10k ya ..

One needs precipitation for that. All rain coming from the Atlantic fell on the Fennoscandic ice sheets, you'd get what they call mountain rains, while Siberia, on the lee of the Western winds, received not enough to build up a sheet. But it did have a giant Mammoth Steppe with enormous herds of ice age mammals.

You also live inside one of the 15 largest impact craters on planet Earth, the Siljan Ring.

10:52 Under normal circumstances 1 cubic meter ice weighs 1000 kilograms, i.e. 1 ton, and you said it weighs 0.9 grams?⁉️ Even if you meant to say “centimetre”, instead of “meter” you’d still be way off, because 1 cubic centimetre ice weighs 9 grams. 🧮🧐

It was slower than what's happening today

What made you think water flows exclusively during the ice age and on the area of the glacier only??

Might be in her DNA "we've seen this before guys. Next thing you know, you have no ice left, and a Baltic Sea at your doorstep
