British Superflood:
Was Great Britain always an island, or was it originally part of Europe, until a massive flood cut it from the continent, forming the English Channel at the same time?

Scientists hypothesize that approximately 450,000 years ago, a massive earthquake fractured a peninsula in northwestern Europe. The violent tremor created a massive surge of water the size of Texas, moving at incredible speeds and carrying huge chunks of rock and ice.

For more than a month, the flood ranged across the land mass to the Atlantic Ocean. By the time the water receded, the peninsula had become the island we now call Great Britain. Based on the geological similarities between the coasts of Calais, France and Dover, England, scientists are convinced that Great Britain was once directly connected to the European continent.
