Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the geological history of the Northern Peninsula of Michigan, mainly during the last ice age. The author presents a clear picture of the landscape during and after the ice age, when huge glacial lakes covered much of the region. The author examines the impact of the enormous ice sheets that carved out the peninsula's landscape, creating hills, valleys, and lakes. The study also explores the dramatic rise and fall of water levels, leaving behind distinct shorelines visible today.
