Just 9,000 years ago Britain was connected to continental Europe by an area of land called Doggerland, which is now submerged beneath the southern North Sea. Part of the reason why the UK is a world leader in off-shore windfarms.

"#Doggerland was named after the Dogger Bank (after 17th-century Dutch fishing boats called doggers), which formed a highland region that became submerged later than the rest of Doggerland.
The archaeological interest intensified in 1931 when a fishing trawler dragged up a barbed antler point that was subsequently dated to a time when the area was tundra. Vessels have since dragged up remains of mammoths, lions and other animals, and a few prehistoric tools and weapons. Most #archaeological evidence of human habitation dates to the #Mesolithic period during the early #Holocene."
