Renowned geographer Nicholas Crane and the UK branch of the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) have teamed up to create this engaging story map about the geological history of Great Britain. Crane is an award winning writer and documentarian and currently serves as the president of the Royal Geographical Society; ESRI is an international company that creates GIS software. This story map traces the history of Great Britain from 12,000 years ago, when "Britain was the colourless, glacial extremity of a continuous landmass," to the present. With traditional and interactive maps, gorgeous photographs, and lively prose, this story map illustrates natural phenomena and human endeavors. Highlights include a three-dimensional diagram of Silbury Hill, the largest human-made mound in Europe, and the earliest surviving map of Scotland, created by Timothy Pont in the late sixteenth century.
