Glacial Erratic Monuments

Glacial Erratic Monuments: Glacial Erratics

(Ryan Thompson, Glacial Erratic Monuments: Geneva, 2010. Source.)



I would love to see someone map out, just like what Ryan Thompson had done with Geneva's, all the glacial erratics in Chicago, its immediate environs and not-too-further afield, at least the more monumental ones, and if there are any to be found, as a sort of field guide to the city's ancestral (and far-future) landscape, intriguing hints at the primordial forces that shaped (and even today continue to influence) its urban history.



That, or build !melk et alia's rejected artificial glacier for Navy Pier.
