Humber Gap
The Humber Gap is a term for the geographic gap between the roughly north-south running line of hills formed by the Yorkshire Wolds and the Lincolnshire Wolds, formed by the west-east running Humber estuary. In the geological past the gap has formed part of an ice barrier due to glaciers during the ice age resulting in damming and formation of a 'Humber Lake', and also forms a geological division. In modern times the gap has formed a natural choice for transport routes, such as the railways. The Humber Bridge also crosses the Humber close to the gap.〔 ==See also==
*Humberhead Levels: very heavily silted area formed west of the gap as a result of the damming of the gap, and subsequent lake formation
