A glacial relict is a population of a cold-adapted species that has been left behind as the range of the species changed after an ice ageended. Glacial relicts are usually found in enclaves "under relatively benign conditions".[1]
Examples:
The biogeography of various aquatic species deemed glacial relicts that are found in Lake Sommen is likely related to a different geography during the early history of the lake. One theory claims that aquatic species were transferred from the Baltic Ice Lake through a natural lock system in connection with a temporary advance of the ice-front during the Younger Dryas.[2] On land, the unusual occurrence of dwarf birch near Sund is also judged to be a leftover from a cold geological past.[3]
