  The Role of Vortices in Drumlin Formation
The rogen ridges associated with drumlins in some regions are similar in form to giant current ripples, which are transverse bedforms generated by vortices that acted as rollers in former currents.
In my model [Cox, 1979] the sediment involved in the formation of drumlins was probably not unconsolidated drift, but unconsolidated sediment of the type that occurs in the bedrock of the regions where drumlins occur, which must have been unconsolidated when the patterns of drumlins formed, and lithified after the streamlining of the land surface.
In the region of the Cayuga trough the drumlins became elongated flutings [Miller, 1972].

  Drumlin   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Drumlins may be up to 50 m high and several kilometres long, with an average length/width ratio of 2 or 3 to 1.
Drumlins may be composed of layers of till (sediment deposited by a glacier), frequently clay-rich, in which the pebbles are oriented subparallel to drumlin elongation and the direction of ice flow, although many drumlins have cores of stratified sand, boulders or bedrock.
Drumlins with a core of stratified sediments are glaciofluvial in origin, formed by deposition in cavities which were cut in the base of the ice by a large discharge of subglacial melt water.

Drumlins usually have layers indicating that the material was repeatedly added to a core, which may be of rock or glacial till.
Drumlins are common in New York, the lower Connecticut River valley, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Southern Ontario, Poland, Northern Ireland, and Patagonia.

 6th International Drumlin Symposium
The 6th drumlin symposium sponsored by the INQUA Commission on Glaciation in northern Poland from June 17-23, was attended by 36 participants from 11 countries, and organized by Wojciech Wysota and Jan Piotrowski.
Drumlin sediment was variable and included tills, glaciolacustrine and glaciofluvial sediment, which in many cases was folded with the axial fold parallel to the drumlin’s length.
Because the drumlins were in most cases restricted to channels a few kilometers wide and the channels ended in large deposits of sand and gravel, a subglacial meltwater origin for the drumlins was seriously considered.

 Scientists observe drumlin beneath ice sheet | Huliq: Breaking News
Drumlins are well known features of landscape scoured by past ice sheets and can be seen in Scotland and Northern England where they were formed during the last ice age.
To the team's surprise the drumlin grew ten times faster than they had ever expected, giving a new and important insight into the drag on the underside of the ice and hence how fast ice sheets are able to flow.
By observing the birth and growth of this drumlin, we can see that the landscape beneath an ice sheet is changing at a rate faster than previously thought".

 [No title]
There wave erosion has exposed the interior of a drumlin made of two layers of till separated by a stratum of clean water-washed cross bedded sand which extends all the way across the drumlin and is abruptly trun-cated on both sides of it.
Thus it seems instructive that the place,where these drumlins of Ontario were made by ice flowing in a direction opposite to that of the ice flood, is also the place where a proglacial lake had an infusible shore manifested now by relict shoreline features that encompass the drumlin field.
Drumlins on the east side of the Great Kame Moraine west of Lake Michigan have axes which suggest that they were shaped by ice emanating from adjacent parts of Lake Michigan.

Drumlins are glacial deposits that are characteristic of continental glaciers.
Individual drumlins are, on average, a mile long and have a height of thirty meters.
This indicates that drumlins may be related to either stress differences under the ice sheet, or perhaps related to sub-glacial water discharge from under a glacier.

 Fault Orientations as Evidence for Subglacial Deformation in Drumlin Formation, Northeastern Michigan
Countless hypotheses have been proposed to attempt to explain the origin of drumlins, including direct ice erosion, erosion by subglacial flooding, and differential deformation of subglacial sediments.
  The drumlin is composed of layers of sorted sands, silts, clays, and diamicton.
  The alignment of the faults perpendicular to the drumlin axis seems to reflect direct basal ice deformation, presenting strong evidence that the process that caused the deformation at depth is directly related to the process that formed the drumlin itself.
