      Just a few hundred meters southeast and across the street from where   
      the  Coho ferry docks in downtown  Victoria, British Columbia,   
      you can see a great example of the power of the glaciers from a   
       previous ice age. Some 15,000 years ago, a glacier flowed over what   
      is now Victoria. The surface of the outcrop shown above was   
       grooved, scratched, and polished by the cutting action of pebbles   
      and boulders dragged along like a piece of giant sandpaper frozen to   
      the bottom a glacier. This fascinating ice age relic might be easy to   
      miss as the attention of many passers-by is captured by the striking   
       Legislative Parliament Building (not in photo). Note that the   
      bronze plaque in the foreground - Glacial Grooves and Striations   
      - acknowledges Victoria's glacial history.
