The Parks / Ontario / Georgian Bay Islands National Park

Effects of the Ice Age are everywhere written on the land. 50 000 years ago the ice fields of the Wisconsin Glacier covered this area in some places to a depth of two miles. Moving only a few feet a day, it alternately smoothed and gouged the islands exposing bedrock and depositing soil while creating the ponds and bogs that now support over 35 species of reptiles and amphibians.
