I read somewhere that in the climate of the mid-20th century,
glaciers could have existed on mountains over 5000 ft high in
Scotland, had there been any that high.
Hi, Norman, Indeed it was P.(Paul?)C. Spink. I think the text to
which you refer is the one and only Climate and the British Scene
(1952) where Manley wrote that the snowline in the Ben Nevis region
would be 5,300ft, in the Lake District 5,900ft and 6,300ft in the
Snowdon region.
Must dig out my copy...
