Glaciation - Ice sheets

Most of this zone was covered by gigantic ice sheets between 40,000 and 20,000 years ago.  At that time glaciers made tremendous changes to the land its shape and effects for the later gold mining. Studies KANES guide shows us the lands that have been influenced by the ice sheets, explains the causes processes and extent of their influence.  We visit places where mining activities were  directly affected by these sheets and we examine the considerations miners encountered because of them.
