Summary

[edit]
Description
English:

Glacial erratics

The maximum elevation of the flood, as established by other indications, is confirmed by glacial erratics, which were stranded on the slopes of the en:Horse Heaven Hills and other elevated regions in the mid-Columbia at elevations of up to 1200 feet above sea level.[1] There were several long ridges (Saddle Mountains, Frenchman Hills, and Rattlesnake Mountain) that were above flood level. Peaks like the Badger, Candy, and Red Mountains were islands.[2][3][4] At this level, much of the en:Columbia Basin would have been submerged.

This is a sample of erratics on Red Mountain.
