During the early part of the<br />stadial, loch level stood at 29 m OD and the erosional benches were formed. The Loch Lomond<br />Readvance then reached its maximum extent; during the initial retreat, loch level stood at 32<br />m OD. After the ice-front had retreated 4 km, the ice-dammed lake in Glen Spean drained<br />catastrophically to produce a large outwash spread related to a temporarily high loch level at<br />36 m OD. Subsequently, the level of the loch fell to 22.5 m OD in response to erosion of the<br />outlet of Loch Ness produced by the floodwaters."<br /><br />[OD being Ordnane Datum / height above average sea level]<br /><br />Quite confusing to try to picture the different processes going on [glacial rebound &c] but it would seem that Loch Ness might once have extended quite a bit further south. Even today Loch Oich and Loch Lochy are only 32m and 29m above sea level and if we strip away tens of metres of deposit in the Fort Augustus area...<br /><br />"AnonStg"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-69127272714772316122013-02-05T12:07:51.640-08:002013-02-05T12:07:51.640-08:00I meant the former ice-trapped loch.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the types of creatures which might have been able to live there?<br /><br />"AnonStg"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
