Not too long ago I stumbled upon a little tidbit that I find fascinating...and surprising.When I visit NYC I always try to hit Central Park for a while...it's my favorite thing to do there.

One thing that's seen in Central Park are many tiny mountains (that's how I think of them) made of solid rock. They don't seems to belong there...but they are. They have a name but I can't recall it.

These "mountains",I recently learned,were deposited there thousands of years ago by the glacier that once enveloped what is now called "Manhattan".

Unless I'm mistaken that glacier disappeared long,*long* before the advent of the internal combustion engine but I don't see how that could be possible.

You can see the striations from the glacier in some of the rocks in Central Park.
