Glacial Lake Missoula Flood

Written by

Though it looks like a normal waterfall today, Palouse Falls was created in one of the most catastrophic floods ever seen on Earth.

These floods occurred when Glacial Lake Missoula -- bigger than Lakes Ontario and Erie together -- emptied in a matter of days.

The ripples carved in this prairie were caused by the passage of the raging floodwaters.
