MAP
OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC AT OR SHORTLY BEFORE THE END OF THE LAST
GLACIAL STAGE - c. 11,000 BP
The
former land bridge between Greenland and Europe was now interrupted
in several places, and the Gulf Stream accordingly got access
to the Artic Ocean, but was still prevented by the northern part
of Atlantis from reaching the North Eastern Atlantic Basin.
With
the penetration of the Gulf Stream into the Artic Ocean the
meteorological situation was changed for the entire Northern
Hemisphere and consequently for the earth as a whole. This penetration
caused the east wind blowing along the margin of the Artic Ocean
to cease, and the American ice fields were almost deprived of
precipitation and therefore dwindled away.
This
change together with the influx of the warm Gulf Stream into
the Artic Ocean, constitute the two most important factors in
ending the Ice Age. As long as the Gulf Stream brings warm water
into the Artic Ocean we need not fear a real Ice Age.
