Montclair in the Ice Age
MONTCLAIR IN THE ICE AGE
February 7th, 7-9 p.m.
What did Montclair look like during the height of the Ice Age, 20,000 years ago? Imagine a thousand feet of blue ice covering First Mountain, chilly lakes of meltwater, a frigid gale roaring off a glacier, and mastodon and reindeer roaming the tundra. A presentation by Greg Pope, a Montclair State University geology professor, will explore this strange prehistoric Montclair landscape with current landscape scenery, maps, and analogous locations. Signs of the Ice Age are still around us, from Anderson Park’s boulders to the cliffs of Mills Reservation. At the Montclair Public Library auditorium, 50 S. Fullerton Ave. Free. Sponsored by Friends of Anderson Park, FriendsOfAndersonPark.com, 973-477-7207.
