The lake Almere was an inland lake in the place of today's IJsselmeer in the center of the Netherlands. ==History== The texts of ancient Romans called it the Lake Flevo. Lake Almere is mentioned among others in a life of saints written by Bishop Anglo-Saxon Saint Boniface in 753, or a deed of gift from the town of Urk. Its etymology may be eels, in Dutch aal or ael, so: "ael mere" = "eel lake" Presumably, the water of Almere at that time was freshwater or slightly brackish. A number of factors have led during the Middle Ages to the transformation of the lake to an inland sea that will be called Zuiderzee, these are: * the rising sea levels due to global warming known as the Medieval Warm Period. * excavation of peat by the Frisians in West Friesland, near the Vlie a river that connects Almere to the North Sea. * the floods such as the All Saints' Flood (1170) or St. Lucia's flood 1287. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Almere (lake)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
