Quintin Bendixen, an associate lecturer
in the Department of
Geography/Geology at the University of Wisconsin-Waukesha, took the
photograph below at the edge of a glacier
in Greenland. A similar scene probably was present about 10,000 years ago near what is now the intersection of Burleigh and Lilly Roads; it resulted in the sand and gravel deposit
that was excavated from the 1920s to the 1970s.
