| I stayed off the glacier, stumbling down the left moraine, often catching myself with my arms just before slamming into glacial erratics. |
|
| In the absence of other sources of building stone, glacial erratics have been extensively used in Finland and northern Poland. |
|
| Huge glacial erratics, boulders unlike most of the other rocks in their surroundings, stand in mute testimony to their cross-country transport by advancing ice. |
|
| When the glaciers retreated they left a lot of granite erratics and it is on these that the centre of the village was built. |
|
| Large erratics line the river and lakes from the headwaters to Irving Lake. |
|
| Mineralization discovered in 1979 on the property was associated with mineralized erratics located on Beartooth Island. |
|
| The boulders were transported by ice from granite outcrops elsewhere and are referred to as erratics. |
|
| Boulders, or erratics, of various sizes, which were carried by the ice and left behind when it melted, can be seen in most areas of the island. |
|
| The glacial erratics exhibition in Grenchen is the only installation of its kind for miles around. |
|
| Landform geomorphology was shaped by past glacial actions and includes esker complexes, boulder moraines, outwash aprons of sand and gravel, glacial erratics, and raised ridges of ancient beaches. |
|
| Coarse, stony, shallow soils, exposed bedrock polished and grooved by the crawling glaciers, and erratics strewn about like glacier-scats are the legacy left by the Ice Age. |
|
| Today, many erratics like this one, including the famous 'Big Rock' near Okotoks, form part of an erratic train that extends from Jasper all the way south to the Montana-Alberta border. |
|
| A closer inspection reveals the numerous moraines and erratics which bear witness to the glacial tongues which at one point stretched from the Valais all the way to Lyon. |
|
| Evidence of glaciation, such as ribbed moraines, striations, large erratics and the rock drumlin formation of Mount Sylvester, is an integral part of the barrens landscape. |
|
| Glacial erratics and glacially striated rocks on mountain summits now high above current ice-sheet levels testify to an overriding by ice at much higher levels. |
|
| These also confirm the linkage between ice ages and continental crust phenomena such as glacial moraines, drumlins, and glacial erratics. |
|
| In places covered by ice sheets during Ice Ages, such as Scandinavia, northern North America, and Siberia, glacial erratics are common. |
|
| A recent survey indicates that these erratics are composed of sandstones with local hematite alteration that may be from the Manitou Falls Formation. |
|
| Extremely coarse, far-traveled blocks and boulders are called erratics. |
|
| Granite erratics form the Canadian Shield have been found at the western border of 95C, indicating a more extensive Laurentide ice advance than previoulsly suggested. |
|
|
|
| Some pebbles and boulder erratics from eastern Quebec and the Canadian Shield were observed in the west part of the region, suggesting a glacial movement from the northwest. |
|
| It would make sense that erratics would be religious sites to the first peoples on Alberta's landscape and stories of vandalism to ancient sites in this province are not new. |
|
| Erratics are boulders picked up by ice sheets during their advance, and deposited when they melt. |
