Other researchers think the basalt boulders came from an area in northern Nova Scotia. This supports the theory of the glaciers coming from upland, not Quebec. Over the years, many scientists and researchers have found many theories supporting both claims, maybe we will never know for sure where the glaciers came from.

Glaciers shape the land underneath them. In southern Nova Scotia, large land forms called drumlins were created by glaciers. Drumlins are large, oval hills made by glaciers. A good place to see drumlins is in Argyle, Yarmouth County and around areas in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia. The drumlins were formed underneath the glacier as it flowed. Today, the drumlins left by the glaciers tell us of the direction the glacier moved in.

Today, we obviously don't have glaciers in Nova Scotia. Over the thousands of years, the climate has gradually become warmer. The glaciers in Nova Scotia have melted and formed lakes and rivers and raised the ocean level.
