I have made claims about a lagoon of unfrozen water along the east coast of england and scotland during the last ice age. The evidence for this and other absurd claims is laid out here.

“HIGHLIGHTS
• Hydrologic models were used to assess remotely sensed surface water estimates.
• The accuracy of satellite surface water estimates diminished for waterbodies < 2 ha.
• Vegetation reduces accuracy of surface water detection, especially during wet years..."

An #IceAge is a period of long-term reduction in Earth's temperature, resulting in the expansion of continental ice sheets and alpine glaciers. These periods are characterized by significant changes in climate, sea levels, and ecosystems.
Earth is currently in the ice age called #Quaternary #Glaciation.

A small #outcrop of the #Squantum Member of the #Roxbury #Conglomerate
These #rocks are in the #BostonBay Group, which is currently dated to #Neoproterozoic. The Squantum Member was interpreted as a #tillite, possibly associated with the #Gaskiers #glaciation, although there a scant signs like scratched pebbles or faceted cobbles. It is currently commonly interpreted as a #debrite (debris flow). Details in captions.
