Oak Ridges Moraine
The Oak Ridges Moraine is an ecologically important geological landform in the Mixedwood Plains of south-central Ontario, Canada. The moraine covers a geographic area of 1,900 square kilometres (730 sq mi) between Caledon and Rice Lake, near Peterborough. It was formed 12,000 years ago by advancing and retreating glaciers. The Oak Ridges Moraine probably formed in the Late Wisconsin glacial period. More info @
