Eemian
The Eemian was an interglacial period
which began about 130,000 years ago and ended about 114,000 years ago.
It was the second-to-latest interglacial period of the current Ice Age, the most recent being the Holocene
which extends to the present day. The prevailing Eemian climate is
believed to have been similar to that of the Holocene. The Eemian is
also known as the Sangamonian Stage in North America, the Ipswichian Stage in the UK, the Mikulin interglacial in the East European Plain, the Valdivia interglacial in Chile and the Riss-Würm interglacial in the Alps.
