| Abstract | Palaeogeographical data on the middle latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere (Patagonia, south-eastern Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand) provide the basis for reconstructing the main landscape and climatic features of the Last Glacial epoch, as well as for their comparison to those in the Northern Hemisphere. In spite of the difference in the amplitudes of the climatic oscillations and specific ecosystem reactions to them in the oceanic Southern Hemisphere, the main trends of the environmental changes and the main climatic phases were similar in both hemispheres. In the later part of the Last Glacial epoch, a lead by several thousand years can be traced in the glaciation development in the mid-latitudinal Southern Hemisphere. |
