Island Rebound - USGS Earth as Art

Item # 2405852

United States Geological Survey

<p>United States Geological Survey is a government agency that studies the geology of the US, as well as its effects and resources. Through their research, the USGS has created stunning images of the earth as seen from satellites, highlighting the natural beauty of the world.</p>

<p>During the last ice age, Akimiski Island in Canada's James Bay lay beneath vast glaciers that pressed down with immense force. As the climate changed and the ice retreated, Akimiski began a gradual rebound. The island's slow but steady increase in elevation is recorded along its naturally terraced edges where the coastline seems etched with bathtub rings, the result of the rising landmass and wave action at previous sea levels.
