Yep! My favorite bit of what went on during the end of the last glaciation is the way that it happened unevenly, a sedate constant flow of water from ice to the oceans interrupted by centuries here and there where sea level rose by at least 2-5 centimeters a year. Presumably that’s what happens once an ice sheet becomes unstable and pieces of them collapse quickly and nonlinearly.

That was one of those “interesting times to live in”? Still it’s peanuts compared to the mother of all floods :-)
