Glaciated Terrain Area 2 The Glaciated terrain at Butterpot Provincial Park. Here you will notice erratic boulders and small kettle lakes. From this location, we get to see some classic glacial terrain. The area is strewn with erratic boulders.
Numerous lakes occupy the depressions gouged out by the glaciers.
The boulders are usually lichen-covered, lichens being the first plants to grow on bare rocks. Note that many boulders do not have the same compostion as the bedrock - indicating that they must have been transported to their present sites. This photo shows a large lichen-covered erratic boulder, and small kettle lakes on opposite sides of the boulder.
