During the last ice age (above) sea level was at least 394 feet (120 m) lower than it is today (below), exposing much more area on the continents. Many changes took place as sea level rose, among them the disappearance of the land bridge from Siberia to Alaska, the appearance of Britain and the islands of Southeast Asia, and the filling of the Hudson Bay.
