Image Caption: STS042-98-16 Raised Beaches - Saint James Bay
Snow highlights old shorelines (linears) along the western side of
Saint James Bay in Ontario, Canada. As glaciers retreated at the end
of the last ice age, the land rebounded. Pauses in these rebounds are
seen as shorelines. North is towards top center. Along with the ice in
Saint James Bay is the gray and white colored Akimiski Island.
