Third shot feels very reminiscent of the arctic wolf scene in PE3

Here: the highest local coastline, 190 m above sea level. Doesn't get more ice age than that!

Happy??

New? this photo has been out for like 2 years now. Anyways, might as well ad the other angles while we're at it

It might make a lucrative meal for some flying and/or aquatic scavengers...

Map of Europe during the most recent Ice Age (the last glacial maximum) - 20,000 years ago.

Made with ArcGIS, Photoshop, Illustrator & Blender. Raw image is roughly 12K in size. #geology #paleoart #sciart #GIS #maps ( #PrehistoricPlanet !!whoo)

yup, this why many of us here in Sweden walk on fine post-glacial marine sediment, which can trigger landslides relatively easily.

Map of the Yoldia Sea - the Baltic some 11,500 years ago.

Being set in the early Holocene, this is by far the youngest paleo-map I've made so far (TBH, as a bit of a break from somewhat heavier projects.)
