Articles in this category is about or is related to the Eemian interglacial locally called:
 * Sangamon interglacial in North America
 * Ipswichian interglacial in the UK
 * Riss-Würm interglacial in the Alps

It began about 131,000 years ago. The warmest peak of the Eemian was around 125,000 years ago, when forests reached as far north as North Cape (which is now tundra) in northern Norway. Sea levels at that time were 5-8 meters higher than they are now, possibly indicating greater deglaciation than today (mostly from partial melting of the ice sheet of Greenland). The era quickly cooled to conditions cooler and drier than the present, and by 114,000 years ago, a glacial era had returned.
