2. RESETTING THE GLACIAL FIELD
Operational Navigation Chart D-14, 5th edition showing Hudson Bay
I’m in a long game with ice ages, past and future. The glacier that moved this granite boulder melted approximately 20,000 years ago. That glacier made the last move on this stone. Now it is my turn. By carrying it north and throwing it into the confines of the Hudson Bay, the next time an ice age returns (~100,000 years from now), that stone will be back where it started, ready to move again. I’m just cuing it up. resetting the glacial field. I’ll document the walk to present it for audiences, but really I’m in an extended conversation with some geologic friends separated by deep time.
