Description
Description of a hike which gives the hiker the chance to examine the post-continental and late continental glaciation on Mt. Katahdin occuring within the last 1 million years. It consists of several well-preserved cirques (semi-bowl shaped basins) with prominent end moraines (ridges of bouldery material accumulating on the side of glaciers) deposited by the last continental glacier active in this area.
