Cool!
Just think of all the neat archaeological stuff we'll find!
Oh, wait, that would mean...

Why is it that when glaciers in Greenland melt, they often find ancient Viking settlements?

It won't flip over. Our frame of reference is screwed up because we put North at the top of the map where South should be. (doubtless a Yankee plot!).
Turn your globe over and see the real threat. Stop Continental Drip!!
Yes, folks, I'm just kidding and having fun with it.

Thanks for the map. I’m in northeast Kansas, at the tip of the glacier. We have some pink granite stones in the area...geologist say it is the result of ‘glacial till’...or rocks from Wisconsin that were carried here by the glacier, and left behind when the glacier receded. They are rounded, after slowly rolling (at glacial speed) a thousand miles to get here. There is no pink granite anywhere in this area, so its pretty neat to think of the journey these rocks took to get here.

I live in Kansas, in an area known to be the furthest southern extent of glaciers the last time they crept south. Soooo....sometime between that last glacial period and today, its warmed up. Big deal.It is here in North Dakota. It's nice to only have Winter six months out of the year.

I have a map from when I was in Oz and Australia is at the top with NA and associated parts on the bottom.

Both of those maps show a small glacier free island west of Chicago.
What’s with that?
To: smokingfrog
Some are shrinking, and some are growing. It’s called Weather. Deal with it.

The arctic ice cover is more than it’s been in years, as is the Antarctic.

I never noticed that before. That is curious, huh? Maybe a huge magma chamber bubbled to the surface? JK
I’ve always been more curious about the thickness above our old house in Ithaca, NY. We had glacial evidence everywhere — striations, moraines, Finger Lakes, erratics. I didn’t realize it at the time, but studying geology in Jr High was pretty cool.

If you invert a globe, it looks like the continents dripped down from Antarctica...hence ‘Stop Continental Drip!’.

...than at any time since record-keeping began more than 120 years ago...that would tend to happen as we come out of the Little Ice Age which began about 500 years ago.....
