Extract

The occupation of Britain by Ice-sheets in Pleistocene times has been established by the researches of Sir A. Eatnsay, Dr. J. Geikie, Messrs. Peach and Home, Tiddeman, Goodchild, and others. At the time that these inquirers made their observations, the very complex nature of the phenomena of the Greenland ice-sheet was hardly recognized, and many difficulties arose, upon which considerable light is thrown by a knowledge of the work of a modern icesheet.
