Summary
DescriptionRebounding beach, among other things (9404384095).jpg
Many Coronation sills, part of the 723 million year old Franklin Igneous Magmatic Event, slice through the Earth's crust in the western Arctic of Nunavut. Here, at the entrance to Bathurst Inlet, an island-topping sill cuts through Proterozoic rock, a light-coloured carbonate formation in this case. The beautifully layered sand beach is caused by glacial rebound of the Arctic coastline during the current glacial interlude. Little to no tide hereabouts helped to form its layercake look. Isostatic rebound is still underway.
