Glacial Lake Missoula And Its Humongous Floods

Glacial Lake Missoula was a massive prehistoric lake that existed during the last ice age in what is now Montana and Idaho. When the ice dam holding it back catastrophically failed, it unleashed some of the largest floods ever to occur on Earth. These cataclysmic floods carved dramatic landscapes across the Pacific Northwest, leaving behind distinctive geological features still visible today. This book explores the science behind these ancient megafloods, the evidence geologists discovered, and the profound impact these events had on shaping the region's terrain and understanding Earth's dynamic geological history.
