Weichselian glaciation : ウィキペディア英語版 | Weichselian glaciation
The last glacial period and its association glaciation is known in Northern Europe and northern Central Europe as the Weichselian glaciation, Weichselian ice age ((ドイツ語:Weichsel-Eiszeit)), Vistulian glaciation, Weichsel〔Whittow, John (1984). ''Dictionary of Physical Geography''. London: Penguin, 1984, p. 580. ISBN 0-14-051094-X.〕 or, less commonly, the ''Weichsel glaciation'', ''Weichselian cold period'' (''Weichsel-Kaltzeit''), ''Weichselian glacial'' (''Weichsel-Glazial''), ''Weichselian Stage'' or, rarely, the ''Weichselian complex'' (''Weichsel-Komplex''). In the Alpine region it corresponds to the Würm glaciation. It was characterised by a large ice sheet that spread out from the Scandinavian mountains and extended as far as the east coast of Schleswig-Holstein, the March of Brandenburg and North Russia. In northern Europe it was the youngest of the glaciation phases (glacials) of the Pleistocene ice age. The preceding warm period in this region was the Eemian interglacial. The last cold period began about 115,000 years ago and ended 11,700 years ago.〔According to the international classification that is based on marine isotope stages, the last glacial period began at stage MIS 5d and ended at stage MIS 2. Its end coincided with the end of the Pleistocen epoch and start of the Holocene. == Naming in other parts of the world == In other regions the glaciations of the last glacial period are given other names: for example that in the Alpine region is called the Würm glaciation, in the British Isles it is the Devensian glaciation and in North America, the Wisconsin glaciation.〔F.J.
