Loch Lomond Stadial

A widespread but short interval of renewed glacial activity and cold climatic conditions in the British Isles. This event occurred about 11,000 years ago, some 2,000 years before the dissipation of the ice sheet. It is a stadial of the Devensian cold stage during which small glaciers were formed in the high mountains of Wales and the Lake District and an icecap was formed over the highlands of Scotland. The Loch Lomond stadial may be correlated with Godwin's Pollen Zone III and the Younger Dryas (Scandinavia).

Stadial of the Dev-ensian cold stage which occurred between 11,000 and 10,000 bp. Small glaciers were formed in the high mountains of Wales and the Lake District and an ice-cap was formed over the highlands of Scotland. The Loch Lomond stadial may be correlated with Godwin’s pollen zone III and the Younger Dry as.
