The landscapes of the UK are a legacy of glacial conditions that last came and went tens of thousands of years ago! In this video, we team up with glaciologists Kathryn Adamson, Lynda Yorke, and Angie Turner, to explore evidence of the coming and going of the last ice sheet at sites across the UK and Ireland.
