How the Ice Shaped the Land. The glacier’s movements carved and molded the North Sea’s seabed, leaving behind striking features that tell the story of its advance and retreat.

The researchers determined that underwater volcanic activity was causing the melts because of the quantity of helium-3 found in the water, and also because of the uneven deformations of the glacier.

He says his team observed an approximately 600-year lag between when glaciers advanced and volcanic activity diminished. “That’s because it takes a long time to grow ice masses,” he explains.
