It should be noted that for years, they thought the Scab-lands in the US were formed in a single flood.
Turns out there were dozens, maybe hundreds or more floods over the years.
Mega-Floods are a common pattern of very large glacial environments. We’re learning that glacial environments are nasty, unstable places, not just pretty snow and polar bears.

And just think of how many uniformitarian assumptions will have to be thrown out the window based on this knowledge!

Look at Iceland. Add subglacial volcanism and it's a real treat.
