Abstract

The glacial history of the Fennoscandian ice cap beyond some 20,000 years B.P. is fairly poorly known because of the absence of a reliable dating control. The Eemian Interglacial of Europe is not dated at all. The Weichselian Glaciation seems to be characterized by three main glaciation maxima separated by two main interstadial periods (of quite different conditions). The Grande Pile continuous lake sequence offers a uniquely detailed paleoclimatic and paleomagnetic record of the last 130,000 years. There are obvious correlations between the Grande Pile record, the Dutch palynological records and the Fennoscandian glacial records.
