Long Dead Baltic Outlet Found Crossing Sweden
Swedish geologists Henrik V Munthe and Leonard von Prost identify a now dried Baltic outlet that crossed Sweden at Stockholm latitude, revealing a past freshwater Svea river course 9000 years ago. They map former beds between Hjalmaren and Vanern, noting a 75 foot Degersfors shaft and shelly remains proving a fresh water connection before the North Sea rose.
