Cool article.

My mother[0] was a geologist, and I was raised in an environment, where she was constantly pointing at rocks and terrain, telling me about how they were formed.

I live on Long Island, New York, which is called a “terminal moraine.”[1]

I.e. “glacier poop.”

When you realize that Long Island is 125 miles long, you can appreciate the size of the glacier that created it.

The Ice Age was AWESOME.
