A modern glacial outwash plain in Iceland
Figure 1. This is an aerial view of Skeiðarárjökull, a modern glacial outwash plain of the larger Vatnajökull ice cap in Iceland, as of 2005. This landscape shows how meltwater from a retreating glacier spreads sediment across a flat plain — an analog for the glacial outwash and tillplain left behind in Indiana at the end of the last Ice Age.
