Britain became separated from mainland Europe after a catastrophic flood some time before 200,000 years ago, a sonar study of the English Channel confirms.
The images reveal deep scars on the Channel bed that must have been cut by a sudden, massive discharge of water.
Scientists tell the journal Nature that the torrent probably came from a giant lake in what is now the North Sea.
Some event - perhaps an earthquake - caused the lake's rim to breach at the Dover Strait, they believe.

That particular mega-flood theory was reported on either National Public Radio (U.S.) or in the Manchester Guardian. This reminds me of the study of the Black Sea Flood and the migrations it triggered. Speaking of floods, I hope everyone recovers well from the present one.
