Thousands of Drumlins Across North America Are Proof of a Flood That Defies All Known Science

Drumlins are not simply hills. Randall Carlson identifies them as the key to understanding the catastrophic nature of the ice age flood events he has been documenting - and the reason is written into their shape. Each drumlin has a blunt end facing upstream and a tapered end pointing downstream. That asymmetry is a paleo current indicator - a compass frozen in sediment that tells researchers exactly which direction the water was moving when it shaped the landscape. Thousands of drumlins covering thousands of square miles are thousands of simultaneous data points all recording the same catastrophic moment. The mechanism Randall describes is specific. Beneath an overlying glacier potentially thousands of feet thick, water flows under enormous pressure with no free surface - a lid forcing the flow into a high pressure system that shapes the glacial till beneath into the streamlined forms visible today. John Shaw was the researcher who first proposed that drumlins were formed by exactly these subglacial pressurized floods - and his critics savaged him, arguing that no reservoir of water large enough to produce these swarms could be identified. The Livingstone Lake event answered that challenge directly. The calculated total discharge of that single subglacial flood event was approximately 84,000 cubic kilometers of water. Randall and Brad Young traveled to the plateau region of British Columbia with drumlin expert Jerome Lessman specifically to determine whether the water that created the Channel Scablands came from the north out of British Columbia - not just from the east out of glacial Lake Missoula. The drumlins they found there pointed the answer in a direction the conventional model had never fully considered.
