Was Thurston County, Washington, Covered in a Glacial Ice Sheet? Lets Find Out!

Описание: On this episode, Erin and I travel around Thurston County, Washington, looking for evidence of a glacial ice sheet that occurred here approximately 17,000 years ago. First, we look at a glacial erratic on Oyster Bay. Second, we drive over to Spurgeon Creek Valley and ponder the valley’s creation by a glacial melt river. Third we look at an extremely large glacial erratic in the Lake Lawrence party of the county. Lastly, we drive over to the geological wonder that is the Mima Mounds Natural Area and consider whether these mounds are evidence of past glaciation. Join us as we reveal the ice age secrets of Thurston County, Washington.
