Merf!
We're in Teton national park right now, getting ready to do a quaternary exercise. That means we're looking at really recent glacial deposits, and this area is perfect for it! There are glaciers comin off the Tetons, and a huge terminal moraine (pile of rocks at the end of a glacier) from an older glacier that came down through the valley here. I'll see if I can get a good perspective photo so you can see what I'm talking about. Students were pretty grumpy yesterday - not going to lie, it made me pretty grumpy too. It's a new day though, and the Tetons are beautiful! Hopefully no one drops a boulder on their mapping partner's hand this year. Eek.
Hope you're having a lovely post-graduation summer!!!
Love, Nooreen
