	CVO Website - Glacial Lake Missoula
		Glacial Lake Missoula, an immense water body dammed in the upper Clark Fork valley by the Purcell Trench lobe, was the source of floodwater that catastrophically swept across the Channeled Scabland (Bretz, et.al., 1956; see also Baker, 1982).
		Lake Missoula shorelines etched across the sharp Fraser-age terminal moraines of alpine glaciers that flowed from mountains on the east side of the lake (Alden, 1953; 197-13) similarly indicate that the alpine-glacial maximum there occurred before or during the higher stands of the lake.
		Because the lake was ponded near the terminus of the Purcell Trench lobe, the long interval of ponding implies that the lobe maintained its near-maximal position for millennia.

	Field Trip to Mars - Kids - Glacial Lake Missoula
		In the rugged terrain outside of Missoula, Montana, are clues indicating that sometime in the last 10,000 years or so an enormous lake filled the valleys of western Montana.
		On the hills around Missoula are numerous straight, horizontal ledges called "lap marks" that mark the shorelines as the level of the lake filled to different heights and drained.
		Glacial Lake Spokane and Glacial Lake Missoula are indicated on the map (above) in medium blue.

	Missoula Floods - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Glacial Lake Columbia (west) and Glacial Lake Missoula (east) are shown south of Cordilleran Ice Sheet.
		The Missoula Floods (also known as the Spokane Floods or the Bretz Floods) refer to the cataclysmic floods that swept periodically across eastern Washington and down the Columbia River Gorge at the end of the last ice age.
		Bretz, however was not able to explain the source of the huge volume of water and his hypothesis was controversial, partly due to the popularity at that time of the principle of uniformitarianism in geologic processes.

	Sandpoint.com - Glacial Lake, Sandpoint Idaho
		Around the lake there was sparse vegetation growing among the windblown sand dunes through which greenish-gray rivers cut.
		The lake was growing at all times and covered an area the size of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario combined.
		Nothing, on the surface, gave any indication as to what was going to transpire at the lake over 12,000 years ago, but at the base a small stream of water flowed from the ice.

	Lewis and Clark's Columbia River - Missoula Floods
		When Lake Missoula burst through the ice dam and exploded downstream, it did so at a rate 10 times the combined flow of all the rivers of the world.
		The Missoula Flood waters passing Wallula Gap reached an elevation of about 1,200 feet, as evidenced by glacial erratics that were left stranded on the slopes of the Horse Heaven Hills and other nearby ridges.
		This lake filled the Willamette River Valley as far as Eugene, Oregon, over 100 miles away, with a measured height of 400 feet at Oregon City and an estimated height of 380 feet at Eugene.

	The Lake Bonneville Flood
		The release of water from Lake Bonneville was apparently initiated by sudden erosion of unconsolidated material on the northern shoreline near Red Rock Pass.
		When the ice dam failed that contained impounded Lake Missoula, 500 cubic miles of water were suddenly released.

	The Daily Inter Lake
		The Flathead Lake cores also display regular, even layers of light and dark sediments, called "varves," that are commonly found in glacial lakes.
		There's also evidence that the youngest flood deposits post-date Lake Missoula by several thousand years, based on estimates that the lake existed from about 19,200 to 16,000 years ago, compared to an age range of 19,095 to 13,695 for the various flood deposits.
		However, testing the hypothesis that Glacial Lake Missoula was the sole source of the ice age floods hasn't been the main focus of Hendrix's research, or for his students, whom he credits with doing much of the "heavy lifting" and detailed sediment analysis.

	Glacial Lake Missoula
		When Glacial Lake Missoula was at its maximum capacity a failure in the ice dam would result in a catastrophic event.
		When the ice dam was breached water would have burst out of Glacial Lake Missoula with 10 times the combined force of all the current rivers in the world.
		Since a flood with the magnitude of the Lake Missoula flood had not been witnessed in recorded history it was simply just not a rationale explanation in the eyes of most geologists at the time.

		The tour was sponsored by the Glacial Lake Missoula chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute, a nonprofit group established about four years ago to help promote the story of the largest catastrophic floods on Earth.
		The lake grew slowly, fed by meltwater from dozens of glaciers, including the huge rivers of ice that filled the Flathead and Swan valleys, and smaller glaciers in the Bitterroot and Mission Mountains.
		In effect, Glacial Lake Missoula was a 160 trillion-gallon hydraulic cannon with a glacier cork in its nozzle.

	Glacial Lake Missoula and the Ice Age Floods
		The floodwaters from Glacial Lake Missoula moved through eastern Washington on a 430-mile journey to the Pacific Ocean, forever changing the landscape by stripping away topsoil, and picking apart the bedrock.
		He estimated the lake covered nearly 2,900 cubic miles and held 500 cubic miles of water at its maximum extent.
		Pardee attributed this phenomenon to the sudden failure of the ice dam that impounded Glacial Lake Missoula.

	Glacial Lake Missoula
		The formation of Lake Missoula and its resulting giant floods over Washington and Oregon is considered by many to be one of the most unique geological phenomena to date.
		Between 13 and 15 thousand years ago, a huge lake held back by a glacial dam in the Idaho panhandle covered a large area of what is now western Montana.
		At its largest volume, Glacial Lake Missoula held over 520 cubic miles of water, covered over 3,000 square miles, and was over 2,000 feet deep at the edge of the glacial dam.

	Glacial Lake Missoula: Book Review of Glacial Lake Missoula and its Humongous Floods
		Known as Glacial Lake Missoula, it covered an area over 2,900 square miles, and was nearly 2,000 feet deep at its deepest point by the ice dam.
		As the lake filled with water, the water was able to eventually float the dam, releasing a catastrophic flood.
		Glacial Lake Missoula and its Humongous Floods takes the reader on a journey examining the lake from its source in the valleys of Montana, and down the path of its flood to the coast at the mouth of the Columbia River.

	Ancient Seas, Modern Images
		Another ancient lake that experienced an abrupt and catastrophic end was Lake Missoula, located in the vicinity of the modern city of Missoula, Montana.
		Unlike Lake Bonneville, however, Lake Missoula occurred due to glacial meltwaters, and was formed due to a dam of ice which formed and broke repeatedly.
		The evidence of the immense floods from Lake Missoula is clearly visible in the region known as the "Channeled Scablands", shown in the image above.

		In Missoula, a glimpse of ancient shoreline on a mountainside is all it takes to yank us out of, say, a traffic-induced coma into the sudden sensation of being at the bottom of a 1,000-foot deep lake.
		Many believe that the ice dams holding back Lake Missoula failed catastrophically at the end of each period of lake formation and that the following floods were responsible for carving the channeled scablands in eastern Washington.
		Some geologists believe that Lake Missoula existed once and went away slowly and that the channeled scablands were formed by other flood mechanisms larger than what Lake Missoula could have produced.

		Pluvial lakes are ancient lakes of great size that formed in closed basins (like the bolsons of the American Southwest) as a consequence of glacial climates and the surplus of available moisture over evaporation and transpiration.
		Evidence of the fluctuating lake level still exists on valley walls above and around Missoula, MT (fig 2.) Shorelines from the ancient lake mark the hillsides in a series of parallel, horizontal bands.
		The water draining out of Lake Missoula, commonly known as the Spokane Floods, rushed down the Clark Fork River, flowed into the Columbia River in central Washington, and eventually emptied into the Pacific Ocean (fig 1).

		This will only be part of the story. They will not tell the public all the assumptions and problems associated with their dates. They likely will not let the public in on the dispute over the number of floods, and that some uniformitarian geologists advocate only one large Lake Missoula flood.
		It is surely doubtful the signs will reveal that the flood rhythmites, repeating layers of sand and silt over 100 feet thick, formed in side canyons in several days. Sediments like these rhythmites would normally be assumed to have been laid down in hundreds of thousand, if not millions of years.

	Ice Age Floods Institute: How was the geologic puzzle solved?
		Earlier, in 1910, another geologist, Joseph T. Pardee, had described evidence of a great ice dammed lake, Glacial Lake Missoula, that had formed during the Ice Age in northwestern Montana.
		Then, in 1940, Pardee reported on his discovery of giant ripple marks, 50 feet high and 200-500 feet apart, that had formed on the floor of Glacial Lake Missoula.
		These huge, current-related features, along with other newly-found landforms, dramatically confirmed that the lake had suddenly emptied to the west, unleashing the tremendously powerful erosive forces that shaped many of the landforms found in the Columbia Basin.
