Doggerland, a large landmass connecting Britain to continental Europe, met its watery demise approximately 8,000 years ago, submerged by rising sea levels. This process, triggered by the melting of glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age, unfolded gradually over centuries. As the ice sheets shed their weighty burden, the Earth's crust rebounded, causing the land to sink and the sea to encroach. The inundation of Doggerland transformed the geography of the region, carving out the North Sea and separating Britain from mainland Europe. This cataclysmic event had a profound impact on the flora, fauna, and human inhabitants of the area, reshaping the course of history.
