Yes, glacial ice depressed the crust it sat on and elevated the ice-free
regions, while sea level everywhere was low due to the amount of water tied
up in ice. Sea level recovers much more rapidly after glaciation than
crustal displacement (which is still adjusting), making for very complex
shoreline evolution.
