Laura Funke WOLF CAVE - Life before the Ice Age in western Finland (in Kristinestad near the border of Karijoki) It is very difficult to collect information about humans in Finland prior to the last ice age. In most places the last ice age destroyed evidence from the warmer interglacial periods of previous ice ages. Neanderthals must have dwelt in the cave prior to the last ice age. It is even possible that they were there during one of the warmer breaks in the Saale Glaciation, the ice age that preceded the last ice age. "A trodden floor and stone tools, (stone chips left from the making of such tools and old hearth remains) from OVER 120,000 years ago. They are proof of human life on Wolf Mountain BEFORE the Ice Age covered the land for thousands of years. Wolf Cave is a unique attraction; there is nothing like it anywhere else in the Nordic countries. The terrain around Wolf Cave is abundant with signs of the Ice Age, and the cave itself is the oldest known human dwelling in Finland. Wolf Cave and the surrounding environs tell a story from thousands of years ago."
