An example of isostatic rebound. Land areas that were covered by continental ice sheets during the most recent ice age were depressed by the weight of the ice. They have been rebounding very slowly since the ice disappeared. The same effect can be seen in the Great Lakes. This rebound continues to this day.
Awww, c'mon. Don't be usin' any of that scientific historical geology stuff on us -- it makes our heads hurt.
I recently ran across a post elsewhere by a lady who used a video of an Alaskan glacier "calving" as proof we're all going to die from AGW. She should have been around when those 2-mile-high glaciers that covered her home city of Montreal began to melt and break up!
That’s a lot of rebound over only 900 years...looks like several feet maybe?
