Glacial erratic boulders in Island County are a remnant of the Pleistocene glaciation that created Puget Sound and transformed the surfaces of what are now Island County's main landmasses: Whidbey Island and Camano Island. South of Deception Pass, the two islands' surfaces and beaches are completely composed of glacial till.Шаблон:Sfn[1]Шаблон:Rp Abundant glacial erratic boulders lie on the islands, their beaches, and under the near-shore waters.Шаблон:Sfn[2]
