Artist's Illustration of Ancient Ice Age Land Bridge Connecting Britain with France

Caption

This is an illustration of what the land bridge connecting Britain to Europe may have looked like before the formation of the Dover Strait. The foreground is around where the port of Calais is today and way in the distance (the background of this illustration) is early Britain. Huge waterfalls cascading over the land bridge represents the beginning of physical separation of Britain from Europe.
