There are strange things done in the midnight sun.
I believe the next lake over is Margaret.
Position of Boulders; As I understand it-and I could be all cold and wet, if you are on the 49th parallel it would be pretty clear that glaciation was predominantly from north to south.
Way up north of 60 it is a little more difficult to be absolutely certain. The ice got piled up pretty high up there. The weight of the ice at the deepest point would tend to push outwards in all directions from the center of the height of ice.
The presence of the ice-once there, would tend to create it's own influence on the climate ie. by condensing all moisture from the air and thereby making the ice pile ever higher.
With prevailing winds and moisture coming from the west, one might think that the center of height might gradually shift westerly and hence create movement along the contact between ice and ground from west to east over time.
To the great frustration of those trying to track the kimberlite float trails up there-one cannot simply assume that all kimberlite trails lead in the same direction.
