Everything about Salpausselk totally explained
Salpausselkä is an extensive
ridge system left by the
ice age in Southern
Finland. It is a large
terminal moraine formation that formed in front of the
Baltic ice lake during the
Younger Dryas period about 12.700-11.500 years ago.
It runs from
Hanko hundreds of kilometers to the east. It traps the extensive
river and
lake systems of Central
Finland known as
Finnish Lakeland ("Lake Finland") and forces the water to flow through few breaches in the ridge. The
Vuoksi River flows from lake
Saimaa into lake
Laatokka (
Ladoga,
Russia). From there the water subsequently flows through river
Neva into the
Gulf of Finland, bypassing the Salpausselkä. The
Kymi River flows from
Päijänne into the Gulf of Finland. An artificial breach from the Lakeland is the
Saimaa Canal, from Saimaa into the
Gulf of Finland.
There are also a formations called
Second and Third Salpausselkä, which are similar in form but smaller. They are situated north of the main Salpausselkä, and were formed later respectively.
