Ancient Greenland Rocks Found in Iceland Sheds Light on Late Antique Ice Age
A 2025 study led by geologists Christopher Spencer, Ross Mitchell, and Thomas Gernon identifies ancient Greenland rocks embedded in Icelandic cliffs. These rocks, transported by icebergs over 1500 years ago, confirm glacial expansion during the Late Antique Little Ice Age (LALIA). The findings shed light on past climate anomalies and serve as crucial data for future climate modelling.
