An outline of the palaeogeographical changes in the territory of European Lowland during the Late Vistulian is presented. A brief review of the environmental studies provided by European scientists contains: processes of the Scandinavian ice sheet recession and deglaciation, the Baltic Ice Lake history, main patterns of fluvial activity, aeolian processes and soil development differentiated both in time and space, as well as problems of the Late Vistulian vegetation reconstructions. The climatic evidence is reported leading to distinguish main climatostratigraphic units and less important metachronic regional climatic fluctuations. The influence of the North Atlantic polar front shifting and the oceanic thermohaline circulation changes on the terrestial climatic conditions in Europe are shown.
