/. Introduction
According to the evidence presented in the last two chapters,
the Hudson Bay region lay at the North Pole during the
period of the Wisconsin ice sheet. It is not possible (with
evidence now at hand) to define the geographical position
of the pole more exactly; it may have been located in Hudson
Bay itself, somewhat to the west in Keewatin, or somewhat to
the east in the province of Quebec. Coleman refers to the
fact that the earlier advance of the Wisconsin ice sheet entered
Michigan from the north from the direction of Hud-
son Bay rather than from Labrador (87:16). Flint remarks:
... It is evident that in Gary time, the ice first entered Minnesota
from the Rainy Lake District on the north, later from the northwest,
and still later from the northeast via the Lake Superior basin. . . .
Flint explains that all the known centers of the Wisconsin
glaciation are relatively late; they date from the declining
stage, when, according to our theory, the crust was in mo-
tion. The evidence of the earlier centers would, he points
out, have been destroyed by the ice flow of later times (375:
171). It is evident that the two principal ice sheets in this re-
so-called Keewatin and Labradorean ice sheets-
gionthes
were part of the same glaciation, and were contemporary,
although the western center was the first to develop. Coleman
mentions that this earlier phase of the ice sheet the so-called
Keewatin transported boulders from the Laurentian area
near Hudson Bay to the foothills of southern Alberta, depositing
them at an altitude of 4,500 feet (87:15). This would
indicate that the ice was moving westward from Hudson Bay.
