Synopsis: This page shows four images. There are two at the top of the page and two at the bottom of the page. The two on the left are of a drumlin and the two on the right show the formation of a kettle hole. Each image is surrounded by an image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The image in the top left shows a side view of a drumlin. It is higher and bigger on the left. The glacier would have flowed from the left to the right. The image at the bottom left of the page shows the drumlin seen from above. It is widest on the left and tapers to the right. Again the glacier would have flowed from the left to the right. The image in the top right of the page is a cross section showing a large block of ice that has broken off a retreating glacier and is buried in the ground. Deposits from the glacier cover it. The cross section image in the bottom right of the page shows that a kettle hole has been made when the block of ice melted.
