Britain is linked to mainland Europe by an area of land known as Doggerland; unfortunately, Doggerland can no longer be used as it now lies submerged beneath the southern region of the North Sea. The British Isles and mainland Europe were connected by this sunken landmass.

Archaeo-geophysics analysis conducted on it estimates that Doggerland sank into the Atlantic Ocean about 8,500 years ago. Numerous research and expeditions have been undertaken to create a better understanding of the lost bridge; scientists have therefore found that the area was populated by mammoths and hunter-gatherers.
