About the event
At the end of the Ice Age about 10,000 years ago the climate warmed fast and the melting
glaciers released enormous amounts of water, forming vas shallow lakes geologists
named "Glacial Lake Oshkosh, Glacial Lake Wisconsin, Glacial Lake Baraboo", etc.
When the meltwaters broke through the Baraboo Range forming the Wisconsin Dells, the
water flowed west to the Mississippi gouging a huge canyon out of the the sandstone
sedimentary layers, creating a wide sandy canyon with steep sandstone and limestone
