Drumlins aside, even though this is where we've gone, I'm trying to picture things geological in my poor confused mind.

The glacier is ice, right? And let's go ahead and start at the beginning.

There's the Ice Age. And then there's some melting, right? And the great ice thing--the glacier--begins to move at the pull of gravity because of the melting. And, according to what Geoff has told me, there's a tremendous amount of water being melted, so this great ice thing is preceded by all this great rushing of water that washes out all kinds of things in its path, right?

So, you've got great rushing of waters beyond anything Hollywood has yet to capture, and you have this monolithic huge chunk of ice (the glacier) that follows the water and it carves what the water hasn't already taken out.

Is this, at this point in geology, what is happening? Great cutting down and about by water, and then even more intense cutting out by the glacier?

A single "yes" will set my heart at ease, drumlins and tills and all the other terms aside for the moment.
