New Hampshire on Ice:
How Glaciers affected our Topography

Come learn about the most recent glaciers in New England and how they helped shape the mountains and valleys we know and love! We will be talking about how some notable features in our area, such as the Connecticut River Valley and Tuckerman’s Ravine, were formed by glaciers. We will talk about the different types of glaciers, how they behave, and some other geologic features related to glaciation.
