Doggerland

.

Not about dogs, alas, but about the land between Britain and continental Europe that is submerged beneath the ocean, now, but was above ground during the last ice age.  Doggerland was home to tens of thousands of people....

Sea level was 120 meters (!) lower, during the last ice age, than it is now.
