The glaciers didn’t just carve the Great Lakes. They pushed the land down… and the land is still rising back. When the ice began to melt the weight of that glacier was easing. But the crust doesn’t rebound instantly. It takes thousands of years to respond. At first, the northern part of the basin was still depressed, allowing water from the vast Lake Algonquin to drain away through low outlets. Water levels dropped dramatically, forming smaller, lakes. Only later, as the land slowly rebounded, t

Glaciers may seem like relics of the Ice Age, but they still survive in parts of the United States. High elevations, heavy snowfall, and consistently cold temperatures allow glaciers to persist in Alaska, Washington, and Montana. These slow-moving rivers of ice continue to shape landscapes — and store vital records of Earth’s climate history. A frozen reminder that the Ice Age never completely left America. #fblifestyle ⸻ #Glaciers #USA #GeographyFacts #IceAge #EarthScience #ClimateHistory #Natu

🌍❄️ The Last Ice of Yosemite ❄️🌍 For more than 20,000 years, glaciers clung to Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. They survived the end of the Ice Age and every warm period since humans arrived in North America. Now they are collapsing. New research shows these glaciers never fully disappeared during the entire Holocene. That makes today’s retreat unprecedented. Within this century the Sierra Nevada could be completely ice free for the first time in human history. This is more than a change on th
