Eemian Sea

The Eemian Sea was a body of water located approximately where the Baltic Sea is now during the last interglacial, or Eemian Stage, Marine isotopic stage (MIS) 5e, roughly 130,000 to 120,000 years BP.^[1]^[2] Sea level was 5 to 7 metres (16 to 23 feet) higher globally than it is today, due to the release of glacial water in the early stage of the interglacial after the Saale glaciation.
