*4.1. Glaciation Model*

Our glaciation model is not intended to include time-varying ice sheet geometries. However, LGM was the ice sheet configuration that was latest influencing the SW Barents Sea. The SW Barents Sea was glaciated around 24,000 BP and starting to melt away at 18,000 BP [36]. The LGM ice sheet is thus a reasonable ice sheet configuration for modelling the flexural stress e ffects in SW Barents Sea.
