They continue to flow and shape the landscape in many places today. All About Glaciers is a glacier site with something for everyone from glaciologists to grade school students, exploring nearly all aspects of glaciers including data and science, facts, a gallery, a glossary and much more.

Charlotte, The Vermont Whale Glaciers and the Glacial Ages The landscape of Vermont, as well as the landscape of much of northern North America, Europe and Russia has been profoundly affected by glaciation over the last 1.5 million years. What are glaciers? How do they form? What are the physical effects of glaciers? Can these effects be seen here in Vermont? How frequently do Ice Ages occur? When did the last glacial age end? Will glaciers again advance over North America? Brought to you through the courtesy of Computing and Information Technology, University of Vermont.

ICE Ice, the frozen form of liquid water, is abundant on the earth's surface, in the planetary system, and in interstellar space. If all the ice presently existing on earth melted, sea level would rise about 70 m. In some planets and in most moons, ice is the major constituent. Pluto is 80% ice; Jupiter's moons Ganymede and Callisto and Saturn's Titan contain 40% ice. Ice is also present in many other moons, in the planetary ring systems, and in comets. The mass of ice stored in the terrestrial ...

Ice AgesSearch Ice Ages When most people hear the words Ice Age, they think of glaciers covering much of North America and Eurasia, animals like mammoths and saber-toothed cats, and Cro-Magnon people painting cave walls. These things come to mind because the words "Ice Age" often refer to the last time that glaciers extended over a large portion of the Earth's surface. The ISM online exhibit The Midwestern U.S. 16,000 Years Ago provides more information on this glaciation in the Midwestern ...
