It is the first of four films released in the Ice Age series , made by Blue Sky Studios and distributed by 20th Century Fox . The film is set during the days of the ice age ; animals begin migrating south to escape the winters. Once Manny , a no-nonsense mammoth , meets Sid , a loudmouthed ground sloth , and the two find a human baby named Roshan , they set out to return the baby. Joining them is a saber-tooth tiger named Diego , who is commanded by his pack leader, Soto , to bring the baby to him to enact revenge against the humans.

The film won several film awards, including an Academy Award nomination. Contents Sid embraces Manny 's trunk. "We make a great team.

What do you say we head south together?" ―Sid[src] A saber-tooth squirrel named Scrat tries to store his acorn by stomping it into a patch of ice, but causes an avalanche in so doing, which he escapes, and leaves well enough alone until a mammoth foot stomps on him, along with herds of other animals, all of which are migrating south so as to escape the freezing winters brought on by the ice age . Among them are a surly mammoth named Manfred and a lazy ground sloth named Sid . Abandoned by his family, Sid attempts to migrate alone but runs afoul of two rhinos named Carl and Frank, who try to attack Sid but fail due to Manfred stepping in, only to leave Sid behind afterward. Sid stays with Manfred, referring to the mammoth as “Manny”, for protection, much to Manny’s dismay. A tribe of humans camp near a waterfall, among them their leader, named Runar , with his wife Nadia and their infant son Roshan , before heading north to their settlement in the mountains. Soto , leader of a pack of saber-tooth tigers saber-tooth tiger , watches the humans with his trusted lieutenant, a cat named Diego .

Soto, seeking revenge against the humans for wiping out half of his pack, intends to devour Runar’s son Roshan in vengeance and plans an attack for the next morning. The attack takes place, with Diego pursuing Nadia, but she escapes with Roshan, jumping over the waterfalls so that Diego returns to Soto with no baby; the pack agrees to meet at Half Peak , where Diego will produce the baby for Soto. Returning the Baby "I'll help you take it to its herd. But promise me you'll leave me alone after that." ―Manny[src] Manny and Sid journey on, Manny bothered by the sloth’s constant talking, until the two find Nadia on a riverbank, weakened greatly by her jump over the falls, with hardly enough strength to pass her son to Manny before she disappears. Manny leaves, but Sid intends to return the baby to his “herd”, which Manny will not help with. The two meet Diego, who takes the baby, claiming that he intends to return him to the humans.

Manny, unconvinced, decides to help Sid return the baby to his family, leaving the saber behind; the humans’ camp is abandoned and Manny reluctantly decides to head north to find the humans’ settlement at Glacier Pass and return the baby, taking Diego along as a guide. The trio take the baby up north and meet a fanatical flock of dodos on the way, from which they procure food for the baby. During the trek, however, Diego secretly meets up with two of his pack mates, who pass a message from Soto, demanding the baby; Diego sends them back with a message to Soto, promising the baby and Manny. The following morning, Sid takes the baby to a mud crater, where he meets two female sloths named Jennifer and Rachel , who he tries to court using the baby, which Manny takes back; Sid returns to the mud crater, only to find the sloths gone, Carl and Frank in their place. The rhinos pursue Sid, who runs into Diego and pleads to the saber to deter the rhinos: Diego pretends to have killed Sid to throw the rhinos off the trail and releases his grip once the rhinos leave; Diego then moves on with Manny and Sid.

On the way, the group runs into a number of predicaments, from a changing landscape to freezing ice age blizzards. The group meets Scrat, who had seen a pack of sabers go by and tries to tell Manny before Diego surreptitiously flicks Scrat away. Shortcut Sid show the baby cave paintings . "This time tomorrow, you could be a free mammoth. Or a nanny; personally, I never get tired of peek-a-boo." ―Diego[src] Further on, Diego spots the humans close by and suggests a shortcut to waylay Manny and Sid to an ambush point; this shortcut takes them through an ice cavern which leads to a cave adorned with paintings, all featuring animals. Among the paintings is the image of a mammoth family, hunted by humans, which Manny views, revealing that the mammoths depicted were Manny’s family and Manny himself: Manny’s wife and child were hunted by humans, leaving Manny alive and embittered at the world for his loss. The baby reaches out to the painting, comforting Manny in that he lets go of his bitterness at having lost his wife and child.

A Herd "That's what you do in a herd." ―Diego[src] Further on, the group grows closer to Glacier Pass when they reach a lava field, which they must cross. Diego nearly falls into the lava but Manny saves him, falling into the lava pit himself as the ice he is standing on breaks off. Manny is launched out of the lava pit unharmed, launched out with the ice he stood on. Diego, in wonderment at Manny’s actions, asks why Manny risked his life to save him, Manny replying that such sacrifices where what herds did. Meanwhile, Soto and his pack plan for the ambush on Manny, aided by Diego. Ambush That night, while settling down by campfire, Diego begins to see the error of his ways in betraying Manny. After the others fall asleep, Scrat appears on the scene with his acorn, planning to thaw it from the ice, baking it instead by mistake into a hot kernel. The group continued on, reaching Half Peak, where Diego, feeling remorse for betraying Manny’s trust, confesses his plans to Manny, which angers the mammoth.

Manny pins Diego to a rock wall, intending to kill him for his misdeeds, but Diego, having had a change of heart, agrees to help Manny escape the pack. Leading the pack away from Manny, who they intended to ambush, Sid slides off on two pieces of bark with a decoy baby made of snow; the pack, however, catches up with Manny, who knocks them away with a log, save for one, named Zeke , who Sid stomps into a hollow tree. Soto catches up with them and corners Manny, asking Diego to help bring the mammoth down; Diego defects from Soto and defends Manny at his own expense as Soto brings Diego down, wounding him. Soto then turns to Manny, intending to attack him alone, but the mammoth, in vengeance, knocks Soto into an ice wall, which jars loose a number of hanging icicles, impaling him. The other sabers, Oscar and Lenny , return to find their leader killed and flee the scene. Manny, Sid and the baby are safe; Diego, however, is severely injured and appears to succumb to his wounds, leaving Manny and Sid to find the humans by themselves.

The two find the humans, who ready themselves to attack when Manny produces Roshan, safe and sound. Grateful for Manny’s returning Roshan, Runar calls off the attack and bestows a beaded necklace to Manny in thanks before leaving with the baby. Manny and Sid leave and find Diego, who survived the attack due to his “nine lives” The three become a herd and decide to head south together. 20,000 Years Later Scrat, having been frozen in a block of ice with his acorn, washes up on the shores of a tropical island. The ice begins to thaw, partially releasing Scrat, and the acorn is jarred loose but washes away once the tide sweeps in. Scrat, furious at the loss of his acorn, breaks out of the ice and rushes up a palm tree, ramming his head on it in frustration until a coconut comes loose. Happy at his new find, Scrat attempts to store the coconut by stomping it into the ground, but causes another cataclysm in so doing, which leads to a volcano on the island bursting. Scrat, at a loss, grins and bears it. Voice Actors Dodo ....

Dann Fink (uncredited) Deleted scenes Original Ice Age Poster featuring Sylvia , Jennifer and Rachel along with Manny , Sid , Diego and Scrat Originally, Sid was trying to avoid another sloth named Sylvia . He manages to lose her by putting her in the path of some migrating Glyptodon , who unknowingly carry her off when she got caught on their backs. Later, Sid makes it look like Diego had killed him, but she saw that he was faking, so she deserted him in anger and told Diego to eat the sloth. This segment was still used in the movie, but was used for Sid to avoid the two brontotheres who were still after him, as they fell for the trick. It was kept in the storybook version, however. The deleted scenes can be viewed separately, or in Nutty Movie Mode, both of which are included on Disc 1 of the two-disc Special Edition DVD.

Contents Ice Age (2002) In the ice age period , three animals ( Manny the mammoth ( Ray Romano ), Sid the sloth ( John Leguizamo ), and Diego the saber-toothed cat ( Denis Leary ) go into an adventure to return a baby to a human tribe that has left for their campsite; however, Diego had been sent secretly by Soto ( Goran Višnjić ), the sabers' pack leader, to bring the baby and mammoth to a place known as the Half Peak so they can ambush and kill them. Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) Global warming affects the environment and an immense amount of water threatens to flood the valley our heroes are currently living at. They have to go to the other side of the valley, where there presumably is a giant tree that can act as a boat to save them.

Meanwhile, Manny ( Ray Romano ) is teased about being the last mammoth , but he finds Ellie ( Queen Latifah ), a female woolly mammoth, who thinks that she's a possum (as she lives with her possum "brothers" Crash and Eddie ( Josh Peck and Seann William Scott after being seperated from her herd and raised by their mother). Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) After the events of Ice Age: The Meltdown , life begins to change for Manny and his friends: Scrat is still on the hunt to hold onto his beloved acorn , while finding a possible romance in a female saber-toothed squirrel named Scratte . Manny and his new wife Ellie are expecting a baby, which leaves Manny anxious to ensure that everything is perfect for when his baby arrives. Diego is fed up with being treated like a house-cat and ponders the notion that he is becoming too laid-back. He eventually leaves the herd.

Sid begins to wish for a family of his own, and so steals some dinosaur eggs which leads to Sid ending up in an underground world where dinosaurs roam free, and where his herd must rescue him, while dodging dinosaurs and facing danger left and right, and meeting up with a weasel known as Buck who hunts dinosaurs intently and has a mammal chauvinism. Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012) One of filmdom's most beloved trios – Ice Age's Manny , Diego , and Sid – embark upon their greatest adventure after a cataclysm sets an entire continent adrift. Separated from the rest of the herd , they use an iceberg as a makeshift ship, which launches them on an epic seafaring quest. Manny and the gang are challenged like never before to become heroes and do the impossible, as they encounter exotic sea creatures, explore a brave new world, and battle ruthless pirates. And Scrat 's reunion with his cursed nut catapults him to places no prehistoric squirrel has gone before.

Ice Age: Collision Course (2016) Set after the events of Continental Drift , Scrat 's ( Chris Wedge ) epic never-ending pursuit of his elusive acorn lands him inside a U.F.O and catapults him outside of Planet Earth, where he accidentally sets off a series of cosmic meteors and a life-threatening asteroid that will transform, change and send every mammal (including dinosaurs ) into extinction. To save themselves from this unthinkable peril, Manny, Sid, Diego, and the rest of the herd leave their home and embark on a new adventurous quest, along with their old friend, Buck , to stop the asteroid while traveling to exotic new landscapes and encountering a host of colorful new characters.

4 January 2003 | by TxMike (Houston, Tx, USA, Earth) – See all my reviews In what amounts to a throw-back to the early, manually-animated cartoons, "Ice Age" chooses a very simple story around which is wrapped clever and exciting animation. Highly intelligent sabre-tooth tigers want to get revenge for the killing of one of their pack, so plot to steal the baby son of the human tribe leader. A goofy sloth (Lugiezamo) and a kind wooly mammoth (Ray Romano) rescue the child and attempt to find his parents, joined by a sly tiger (Denis Leary) who at first is planning to lead all of them into a corner so his tiger friends can help get the child back and eat the mammoth. But a series of events, and the tiger's being saved by the mammoth, causes all of them to "bond". The DVD is flawless. The Dolby surround sound is remarkably good, truly surrounding you with sound.

The direct digital to DVD video transfer is as good, colorful, and sharp as the other recent ones like "Toy Story 2", "Shrek", and "Monsters Inc." There is a whole second disk of "extras" which take you through the whole animated film-making process. Also a short animated film "Bunny" which won an oscar in 1998. Plus another "short" which shows the little squirrel, 20,000 years later, in an ice block drifting onto a deserted island, and his pounding of a coconut into the ground triggering the continental drift which resulted in the present day continents! Very inventive and funny. Watching "Ice Age", my wife and I noticed that much of the action and pratfalls reminded us of the old "Roadrunner" cartoons. In the DVD extras the director mentions that those old cartoons of Chuck Jones were the insriration of many of the scenes. Yes, a throw-back to the old manually-animated cartoons, and a worthy tribute. 32 of 40 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?

Category 'Ice Age: Collision Course' Review: Ray Romano and Company Return for Another Laugh-less Adventure See Video: 'Ice Age: Collision Course' Trailer Teases the End of an Era Woolly mammoth Manny (voiced by Ray Romano ) is grappling with plot complications that date back to the Pleistocene era of TV sitcoms – he’s forgotten about his wedding anniversary after wife Ellie ( Queen Latifah ) has thrown them a big party, and both of them are worried that daughter Peaches ( Keke Palmer ) plans to pull up stakes and go exploring with fiancé Julian ( Adam DeVine , Jack Black -ing as hard as he can). With the impending meteor bringing certain death to the mammoths, as well as sloth pals Sal ( John Leguizamo ) and Granny ( Wanda Sykes , saddled with some of the worst sassy-senior-citizen dialogue on record) and sabertooths Diego ( Denis Leary ) and Shira ( Jennifer Lopez ), all seems lost. Not so fast, says weasel Buck ( Simon Pegg ), who suggests they travel to the area where the meteors always land so they can figure out a way to send it back into space.

(The science here leads to the film’s one passable gag, involving a celebrity cameo.) See Photos: All 17 Pixar Movies Ranked, Worst to Best Adding new characters over the course of the previous four movies has overloaded the proceedings — Lopez has about six lines here — and “Ice Age: Collision Course” throws in a bunch of new ones, from a band of predatory dino-birds (led by Nick Offerman ) to the yoga-obsessed Shangri Llama (Jesse Tyler Ferguson). The dialogue that gets passed around to this massive cast, courtesy of writers Michael Wilson , Michael Berg and Yoni Brenner (“Ice Age” series vets all), stoops to pick up every possible gag about poop, butts and penises it can manage to cadge along with way. Visually, at least, directors Mike Thurmeier and Galen C. Chu, along with their team of artists, know how to create striking-looking characters, and thanks to our heroes’ journey to a city made entirely of gemstones, the filmmakers get to play around with colors beyond the greens and browns of the forest.

If only the characters themselves, and what they have to say, could be as interesting as how they look and where they go.

Pixar has accompanied all of its feature films since its second feature film ("A Bug's Life") with opening shorts, and Disney has recently followed suit with shorts that range from groundbreaking experiments to revitalization of their most classic characters.

15.) "Tin Toy" (1988) -- This is the short that saved Pixar from financial ruin, became the first CGI film to win an Oscar, and led to Disney making a deal with Pixar to create "Toy Story." The baby that chases after our toy hero was stuck in the Uncanny Valley when the film first came out and looks even worse in the years since. Still, it went a long way to showing the world the sort of storytelling that could be made with computer animation. 14.) "Lorenzo" (2004) -- Designed for a "Fantasia" film that never got completed, "Lorenzo" features a spoiled fat cat who makes a big mistake when he mocks a black cat for not having a tail. The black cat hexes the tubby feline, causing his tail to come alive and wrap him into a dance scene set to an Argentinean tango. 13.) "One Man Band" (2006) -- A whimsical tale with Pixar's most creative use of music. Two street performers play multiple instruments simultaneously in an attempt to win the money of a young girl who wants to see a show.

12.) "Geri's Game" (1997) -- Pixar put its short film projects on hold during the 90s to focus on building profits with feature films and commercials. They returned to the format in a big way with an Oscar-winning short featuring an old man playing chess against himself. It's notable for being the first Pixar project with a human main character after years of toys and insects in the lead. 11.) "For The Birds" (2001) -- Pixar's third Oscar-winning short featured a large, gangly bird trying to befriend a bunch of snobby little birds that wanted nothing to do with him. To animate the film, Pixar developed a new animation tool to allow for the birds to have feathers that moved individually. 10.) "Sanjay's Super Team" (2015) -- A deeply personal Pixar short made by director Sanjay Patel to show the internal conflict he felt as a kid between his family's Hindu traditions and the pull of modern Western culture. The cartoon features Sanjay as a kid imagining Hindu deities as superheroes much like the ones he watches on Saturday morning.

9.) "The Little Matchgirl" (2006) -- Here's a rarity: a Disney film that doesn't have a happy ending. Set to a string quartet piece by Alexander Borodin and based on a Hans Christian Andersen tale, the story depicts a girl stuck in the cold streets of Moscow at Christmas. 8.) "How To Hook Up Your Home Theater" (2007) -- In the 40s and 50s, Goofy became a prominent member of Disney's stable with the "Everyman" shorts, a series of cartoons where he would clumsily struggle to do things like play baseball and do a waltz while a droll announcer provided instructions. Disney brought back the format with a topic every sports fan can sympathize with: setting up an HDTV and surround sound in your living room. 7.) "Runaway Brain" (1997) -- A common complaint about Mickey Mouse is that in modern times he has become more of a corporate mascot than a cartoon character.

The Disney shorts restore him to greatness, particularly this macabre tale in which a mad scientist switches Mickey's brain with that of a monster named Julius, leading to the creepy sight of Mickey's face turning into a sharp-toothed visage. 6.) "The Blue Umbrella" (2013) -- A dramatic change in Pixar's visual style. The story of two umbrellas befriending each other is what one expects from the studio. What's unexpected is the realistic city the story is set in, swapping out Pixar's usual cartoon style with an attention to detail you'd see in "Batman: Arkham Knight." 5.) "Get a Horse!" (2013) -- A hilarious and powerful retrospective on the evolution of Disney animation. What starts as a throwback to Mickey Mouse's 1928 roots quickly transforms into a fourth-wall breaking blend of 2D and 3D animation. The cartoon also reuses archival audio of Walt Disney for Mickey's voice. 4.) "Piper" (2016) -- The newest and most detailed Pixar short to date, starring a baby sandpiper bird who overcomes his fear of the waves to forage for clams on the beach.

The shore is rendered with the same attention to detail as "The Blue Umbrella," culminating in an underwater scene where you can see every grain of sand. 3.) "Paperman" (2012) -- The most visually striking work Disney has produced this decade. This short features a cubicle worker trying to get the attention of a woman in the next building over with paper planes. Presented in black and white with a blend of computer and traditional animation, it was the first Disney short to win an Oscar since 1969. 2.) "Day and Night" (2010) -- Two 2D animated characters symbolizing day and night squabble over which of them is better. In addition to having one clever sight gag after another, the short provides commentary on prejudice and fear of the unknown without its characters saying a single word. 1.) "Destino" (2003) -- Disney has made nothing like this before and likely never will again. In 1945, Walt Disney began a collaboration with Salvador Dali that was shuttered due to financial struggles. Over fifty years later, Walt's nephew, Roy E.

Disney, commissioned the company's French animation studio to make a short based on Dali's perplexing storyboards. The result is a cryptic but beautiful short that brings Dali's paintings to life. Previous Slide NOVA - Official Website | Megafloods of the Ice Age NOVA Megafloods of the Ice Age Posted 09.20.05 NOVA About 15,000 years ago, in the waning millennia of the Ice Age, a vast lake known as Glacial Lake Missoula suddenly burst through the ice dam that plugged it at one end. In the space of just 48 hours, geologists believe, the collapse sent 500 cubic miles of water cascading across the Pacific Northwest, creating overnight such unusual landscapes as the scablands of eastern Washington State. In this interview, geologist and scablands expert Vic Baker of the University of Arizona talks about what it would have been like to witness the flood, what such floods are teaching us about Mars, and what J Harlen Bretz, the colorful geologist who first proposed that cataclysmic flooding had carved the scablands, was really like.

Scores of times during the Pleistocene epoch, Baker says, floodwaters from Glacial Lake Missoula (lower right in image) punched through the ice dam, inundating vast swaths of the Pacific Northwest. Enlarge Photo credit: Created to scale with ArcView and Visual Nature Studio by Rick Lovel, HDR Engineering, Boise Idaho. In the path of the floods NOVA: What would it have been like to observe the floods from a safe vantage point? Vic Baker: Pretty frightening. A lot of water was transferring very quickly to the land surface, so this would probably have caused some vibration. Maybe not full-scale earthquakes, but depending on how far away you were, there would have been a lot of stress and a lot of noise from boulders banging together. You might also have seen rather bizarre things—huge waves, for instance, perhaps even particles flying out of the flow. That would have been rather disconcerting. You mean like an explosion of particles? I don't know if it's an explosion. It's just that there are turbulent forces with tremendous lift. You can think of it like tornadoes that lift large objects into the air.

This would happen in the water, and if the momentum was sufficient, particles could be thrown out of the water. Certainly the Missoula flows were of the magnitude that that sort of thing could have happened. Any chance there were people around at the time who could have witnessed them? There's no direct evidence that people were impacted by the flood. The flood occurred prior to the major evidence for the first large group of prehistoric Americans, the so-called Clovis culture of big-game hunters. Clovis occurred at least a few thousand years after the flood. But it's possible people were there. If there were people, they would have been swept away, of course. We know that large animals were taken up by the flooding. Vertebrate bones of various late Pleistocene animals, including mammoths, have been found in flood slackwater deposits. If they were around, people would have been similarly inundated. But nothing has been found. Kolks, a kind of underwater tornado that occurs in deep flows of fast-moving water, tore huge potholes in the scablands and probably also flung debris right out of the floodwaters.

I read an article recently claiming that there's evidence for only one Glacial Lake Missoula flood or perhaps several. Where do most geologists stand on this? The evidence is overwhelming that there were multiple floods. Actually, the issue isn't so much were there multiple floods, but how big were the floods in the late Pleistocene? There's pretty good evidence that we're talking about scores of floods, maybe 100 or more. But it's less clear how big each was. There's a fair bit of evidence that many of them were extremely large by modern standards, but many were much smaller than others. "Portland, Oregon would be under several hundred feet of water." The number of really big floods is important because we think that in order to do significant erosion and deposition—at least in the main channels, not in the slackwater areas—you have to have a very high threshold for the activity. And therefore, the question is more, Did one flood (or a small number of large floods) in the late Pleistocene do most of the work?

Or was this the accumulated work of about 100 much smaller events? We still don't know the answer to that question. If one of the biggies happened today, what would be lost? Spokane, for instance, lies right in the path of the floods, right? Well, it's not just Spokane. Portland, Oregon would be under several hundred feet of water. The whole system along the Columbia River would be affected tremendously by the flow. But there hasn't been a lot of interest in what would be lost other than the Hanford nuclear site. Since they had put a whole lot of nuclear technology and radioactive materials right in one of the major confluent zones of Missoula flooding, they actually did, 20 years ago, some studies of the effects Missoula floods might have there. It was an academic exercise, of course, because it's not likely this would occur again unless there was an ice age. And an ice age would cause a lot of problems besides just nuclear waste! Icelandic glaciers like this one have released damaging floods, but nothing on the scale of those generated by Glacial Lake Missoula.

Enlarge Photo credit: © Mentorn/WGBH Educational Foundation Megafloods around the world Are there any other places in the world where such massive glacial floods could happen today? Nothing of the magnitude that occurred in the late Pleistocene. The Glacial Lake Missoula flooding—and other floods we know about that occurred around the same time in geological history—were associated with extremely large ice sheets. When you have large ice sheets, you have not just the water in the ice but big lakes that those ice sheets dam up. So there's a lot of water available for producing the volume that such megafloods would entail. Today, we only have two big ice sheets on Earth, and both of them almost completely fill landmasses—Greenland and Antarctica. So you don't have so-called ice marginal lakes, though in Antarctica you do have some subglacial lakes. That brings up another issue: could big subglacial lakes release floods? Doesn't look like that's the case today, except with much smaller glaciers like those in Iceland. There you can get subglacial lakes, particularly associated with volcanism, that release floods. But neither the glaciers nor the lakes are nearly as big as anything we saw in the past.

"One reason I study the Channeled Scabland is that it's helpful in understanding Mars." You mentioned other great floods in the Pleistocene. Where else have multiple megafloods taken place? We had huge floods around many of the big ice sheets, such as the Laurentide, which blanketed much of arctic Canada east of the Rocky Mountains and southward to the Great Lakes. Huge megafloods were associated with its surrounding lakes, particularly Glacial Lake Agassiz, which covered much of central Canada centered around Winnipeg. That released floods both to the south through the Mississippi River system and also under the ice out through the straits that enter Hudson Bay. There were also massive megafloods in Asia. Some of them were associated with big ice sheets that blocked the rivers that currently flow north from Russia into the Arctic Ocean. Others were associated with mountain areas, such as the Altai Mountains, the Sayan Mountains, and some of the mountains around Lake Baikal. All of these are in southern Siberian Russia, along its borders with Kazakhstan and China and Mongolia. These mountain floods were comparable in magnitude, though perhaps not in volume, to the Missoula floods.

Billions of years ago, Mars hosted megafloods that dwarfed those that formed the scablands. Enlarge Photo credit: Courtesy NASA Landscapes of mystery Getting back to the scablands, are there geologic features there that still puzzle geologists as to their origin? Or have most of them been figured out? There are always puzzling things. For one thing, many of the processes that occurred during the cataclysmic flooding are of a scale that we can't reproduce in the laboratory, and they're difficult to evaluate theoretically because of not having that kind of experimental test. There are features of erosion and sediment transport, for instance, that we don't fully understand. We have hypotheses for most things we see, but we still have to see how effective these hypotheses are. We try to advance this by finding other places and other examples where we can get some kind of constraint on how those processes operated. So these other megaflood areas I mentioned are important in helping us understand cataclysmic glacial breakout floods as a general phenomenon, not something unique, say, to Missoula. Are there other entire landscapes that stump geologists as to their origin, as Washington's Channeled Scabland once did?

We're finding them all the time. Most interesting and puzzling are those we're finding on other planets. We know from work over the past 30 years that Mars, for instance, has had even bigger floods on its surface than we see in the Channeled Scabland. Those floods seem to have been both similar to and somewhat different from the Missoula floods. In many cases they involved much more water and even larger flood-eroded landscapes than in the Channeled Scabland. We could spend this whole interview talking about Mars, because there's so much that is not fully understood there, and we only have incomplete information about it. One reason I study the Channeled Scabland is that it's helpful in understanding Mars as well as what we might find on other planets in the future, not just in our own solar system but beyond. "Some of the most puzzling landscapes are those that developed beneath the big ice sheets," Baker says. Here, a rendering of the Cordilleran ice sheet, whose Purcell lobe periodically dammed up the Clark Flork River, creating Glacial Lake Missoula.

Are there whole landscapes that still leave geologists scratching their heads? Yes, and they're in surprising places. I think some of the most puzzling landscapes are those that developed beneath the big ice sheets. We have a few such landscapes today under Antarctica and Greenland. Also puzzling are ones that were exhumed from beneath the big ice sheets in British Columbia, which was covered by the Cordilleran ice sheet, and in much of eastern North America where the big Laurentide ice sheet was. Those landscapes are not very well understood because we don't really have a modern analogue to them. In geology, we try to understand things to a large extent by a sophisticated use of analogy, where we have features that are being formed by processes today or in some way that we can get a handle on how those processes operated long ago. Where we understand the relationships and then we try to extrapolate that into unknown landscapes. "Some people think science is the collection of facts and truths and everything about the world. Absolutely not." The big ice sheets of the last ice age were in many cases warm-based ice sheets.

That is, there was a lot of water underneath the glaciers. The landscapes that form there are a complex combination of ice and water processes involving meltwater and high pressures. There are all kinds of bizarre features on those landscapes that we don't fully understand. That's one category. I could go into other parts of the world, say in the tropics, where there are completely different situations going on that also pose puzzles. I guess I was just wondering if there's still a lot remaining to be solved geologically at the landscape level, and from what you're saying there is. Yeah, the fact that we have science today is by definition an indication we haven't solved things. This is an important point. Some people think science is the collection of facts and truths and everything about the world. Absolutely not. Science is about raising questions about the things we don't know and being very sophisticated about pursuing those problems. If everything was solved, there would be no science. There'd be discussion of facts, but there wouldn't be science.

J Harlen Bretz, whose first name was "J" (no period necessary)—just one of the many idiosyncrasies of this colorful geologist Enlarge Photo credit: Courtesy Special Collections Research Center, University of Chicago Library The two who first knew So you knew J Harlen Bretz. What was he like? Oh, he was one of the real characters in geology. That's one of the great things about geology, as in science as a whole. We have our regular bookish-type people, but we also have what you might call characters—people who've got their warts but also their shining sides. Bretz was a complete geologist. He was obsessed with his work, and he was true to wholly geological things, like multiple working hypotheses and looking in the field for evidence as opposed to theorizing from an armchair. He formed strong opinions. He loved working with students, but he pressed those students hard by making them think for themselves. He was a Socratic teacher, where you don't tell people, you let them figure it out for themselves. You're more like a guide in their process of understanding. Bretz also enjoyed life. He liked making his own wine. He liked telling jokes.

He liked going on family trips. But he was also an extremely difficult person to live with, I'm sure. He was tough on wife and family, and probably a bit full of himself. So he was remarkable in many ways. Now, if Bretz had given solid evidence for catastrophic draining of Glacial Lake Missoula at that 1927 geological meeting, do you think geologists there would have accepted his theory? [Editor's note: At the meeting, Bretz presented his theory that a massive flood had formed the Channeled Scabland, though he admitted he had no idea where such a volume of water had come from; he was lambasted by other geologists that day and for years afterward.] I don't think at that meeting that that evidence would have carried the day. But in subsequent reflection, if the evidence was as Joseph Pardee later presented it in the 1940s, then I think they would have to have come around to Bretz's view earlier. Because that was clearly a process that had occurred and was of the magnitude to have generated the flooding. People have said geology's kind of like a murder mystery, where you sometimes get a smoking gun that indicates the culprit.

By that view of geology—which I think is partially right but not completely—the Missoula breakout would be the smoking gun that helped solve the mystery. So yeah, it could definitely have had a major impact. Joseph Pardee suspected as early as the 1920s that Glacial Lake Missoula was the source of the floods that scoured out the scablands, but he didn't publish his theory until 1942. Enlarge Photo credit: © Geological Society of America Why didn't Pardee speak up at that 1927 meeting if he knew then where the water to carve such landscapes had come from, namely, Glacial Lake Missoula? Well, we don't know much from Pardee himself, because he was very quiet about that. Certainly Bretz had an extremely strong view on why that was the case. Bretz told me this himself, and he wrote about it. He felt that Pardee was prevented from speaking up. Pardee was an employee of the United States Geological Survey, and his superior was a fellow named Alden, who was extremely conservative and antagonistic to the flood hypothesis. Alden had been one of the critics at the meeting in Washington.

"He was happy to be alive, for one thing." Thus Pardee was there as a junior person with other more senior USGS people, all of whom were against the flood hypothesis. So Pardee himself, being a rather quiet, taciturn person, was certainly not going to speak up at that meeting. Bretz felt—and this has not been completely verified by the paper trail—but Bretz felt from people he had talked to that Pardee had actually thought of cataclysmic flooding as a possibility for the landforms he observed around Spokane a few years prior to Bretz thinking of it. That may be another reason Pardee didn't speak up: he saw Bretz getting in trouble for the exact thing that Pardee had thought of but hadn't been able to publish because of the conservative nature of his superiors. So it was kind of a combination of not wanting to go against his superiors and also being a little bit miffed that Bretz had come up with the same idea that he had had earlier. Vic Baker returns regularly to the bizarre landscapes known as the scablands, in part because of what they can tell us about similar terrain on Mars.

Enlarge Photo credit: © Mentorn/WGBH Educational Foundation Eventually, of course, Bretz was vindicated. Did he ever talk to you about how he felt when he finally was? Oh, well, he was delighted about that. He didn't gloat about it to me, but clearly he was happy to be alive, for one thing. He had gotten through the process; he had outlived his critics; and he could see things come around to what he had been saying, because people finally went out in the field and saw what he was talking about. He was also happy to see that new stuff was happening, that people were building upon the train of thought he set in motion. I think that's the kind of thing that we in science take satisfaction in—not that you have absolutely solved the problem, because then there's no science left. It's that you have helped in pointing the direction toward a productive line of work and are part of this larger human enterprise of discovery and creativity. I think he probably felt a bit of that. You can get self-centered in science, but I think to be a good scientist, you've got to break away from that. I think Bretz was able to do that.
