Very interesting. You can see the horizontal water erosion lines on the sides of the hills (mountains for you East Coast folks) surrounding Missoula Montana from the glacial melt lake that carved out the badlands in Eastern Washington state's Columbia Basin.

Over the span of roughly nine months, approximately 5,000 cubic miles...
Glacial Lake Missoula, during its periodic drainings, would drain one tenth of that volume in a day or two.

12,000 years ago fits in with the legend of Atlantis being destroyed by flood as well as the Biblical flood story. Many cultures around the world have a flood myth.

There was two huge lakes in New England, Lake Hitchcock is where the Connecticut River Valley is now and Lake Connecticut is where Long Island Sound is now.
Every culture has a flood, so was it Noah's Flood?

I used to live in Lewistown MT the center of the state. In the Snowy Mountains there are fossils of sea shells everywhere. I have one I found myself. To me, that’s incredible.

Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes but in Canada directly above and above North Dakota there are 100,000+ lakes and many many larger lakes then all the lakes combined in Minnesota. Glaciers rolled back and forth thru the eons creating the lake beds.
