Here in Southern Wisconsin, on the border with Illinois, the land was covered in ice, except for a small section of the state just above the Illinois border and just east of the Mississippi. I believe they called it the "driftless" area. But it all melted! Can anyone tell us what caused all that ice to melt 20,000 years ago, before the age of autos and the burning of fossil fuels?

It didn't melt 20,000 years ago. The glacial maximum wasn't until about 13,000 years ago. It took about 7,000 years from that time for all the glacial ice to melt.

It's also known as a Kettle Morain I believe.
