The southern part of the county is Appalachian Plateau, with high hills rising at the southern edge of Syracuse. This is the eastern part of the Finger Lakes region. Skaneateles Lake and Otisco Lake are both in Onondaga County. US 20 extends east and west across the county, traversing dramatic hill-and-valley terrain. Between the lake plain and Appalachian highlands is a zone noted for drumlins, smaller, scattered hills formed as mounds of debris left by the last glacier.

Last nights sunset from Bertra beach. Looking out across Clew bay towards Clare Island. Clew bay is dotted with hundreds of tiny islands or 'drowned drumlins' created in the last ice age.

Clew Bay (Irish: Cuan Mó) is a natural ocean bay in County Mayo, Republic of Ireland. It contains Ireland's best example of sunken drumlins. The bay is overlooked by Croagh Patrick to the south and the Nephin Range mountains of North Mayo. Clare Island guards the entrance of the bay. From the southwest part of the bay eastwards are Louisburgh, Lecanvey, Murrisk, and Westport; north of Westport is Newport, and westwards from there lies Mulranny, gateway to Achill. From the south side of the bay, between Clare Island and Achill, Bills Rocks can be seen.
Clew Bay was the focus of the O'Malley family possessions in the Middle Ages, and is associated especially with Grace O'Malley or Granuaile. She is known as the Pirate Queen who commanded a fleet of ships and maintained several castles, including those on Clare Island, Achill and Rockfleet.
During the Irish Civil War in July 1922, 400 Free State troops were landed at Clew Bay to take Westport and Castlebar from Anti-Treaty forces.

One of the outstanding drumlins in the Hirzel/Menzingen area in Switzerland with a single tree on it. Sometimes an oak or often a linden tree like on this photo.
These trees were planted on special occasions like the birth of the first son by the local landlords.
On the left side of the photo you can spot one of the numerous red kites [Milvus milvus] you also can observe in this area.
You may need to search 'Drumlins'....but these hills make for a great shot in low winter light. From Sharp Haw near Skipton

Geography and geology
Jacques-Cartier National Park is located in the Laurentian Mountains along the Jacques-Cartier River valley, to the west of Quebec Route 175. Jacques-Cartier is a 30 minutes drive from Québec City. Grands-Jardins National Park is located to the northeast of the park, while the Laurentian Wildlife Reserve is located to the north. The park is also located near the Canadian Forces military base CFB Valcartier.
The park contains several glacial landforms such as drumlins and moraine. The most prominent glacial landform in Jacques-Cartier National Park is the Jacques-Cartier Valley (French:Vallée de la Jacques-Cartier). The U-shaped valley is 550 metres (1,804 ft) deep and was formed during the last glacial period.
Flora and fauna
Female moose inside the park.
The plateau consists mainly of coniferous trees such as the black spruce, while the valley consists mainly of deciduous trees such as sugar maple and yellow birch. The invasive Japanese knotweed has also appeared in the park's boundaries.
The wildlife is typical of a boreal forest. Animals that can be found in the park include moose, caribou, white-tailed deer, gray wolf, red fox, the Canada lynx, the black bear, river otter, porcupine and the Canadian beaver. Atlantic salmon, brook trout and the Arctic char can be found in the lakes and in the Jacques-Cartier river. The park is also visited by more than 100 species of birds.
Taken on the Farmlands Loop, In Kejimkujik National Park. This particular trail is centered around a drumlin, where nearly 200 years ago the Rogers family painstakingly cleared this field of rocks and stumps and began their life anew.

Das Hinterland von Lindau am Bodensee ist von zahlreichen Drumlins geprägt, die Zeugen der letzten Eiszeit sind. Es handelt sich dabei um kleine Höhenrücken, die als Teil der Grundmoränenlandschaft durch den sich bewegenden Gletscher geformt wurden.
Von diesen Höhenrücken ergeben sich tolle Aussichten in Richtung Bodensee und der dahinter liegenden Berge.
Unweit von Oberreitnau befindet sich ein Hangnach genannter Drumlin, auf dessen Gipfel sich zudem ein markanter Einzelbaum befindet, der selbst geradezu zu einem Foto einlud. Am Horizont sind die Berge des Bregenzerwaldes zu sehen, links der Pfänderrücken.

These small tidewater patches don't freeze all winter long. They occur in drumlin- and esker-festooned tidal flats between Arviat and Whale Cove, west shore of Hudson Bay. This one is in a channel between bays that is being kept open by tidal currents.
I've been travelling over some half dozen scattered water patches in this locale for years and finally got lucky in 2019. It was a clear day with a crisp wind providing a visible icy plume blowing offshore from a black patch of open water. Mile-high west-facing aerial view.
Glaziale Drumlin-Landschaft am Hirschberg bei Pähl.
Drumlins sind eiszeitliche längliche Hügel mit tropfenförmigem Grundriss, die unter einem sich aktiv bewegenden Gletscher geformt wurden und Bestandteil der Grundmoränenlandschaft sind.
Drumlins are elongated rounded mounds of glacial material. Typical lengths are over 100 m, typical heights over 10 m. They were given this shape by the glacier gliding over them.
The glacier landscape between Menzingen (Canton Zug) and Hirzel (Canton Zurich) is one of the most beautiful witnesses of the last Ice Age in the Pre-Alps of Switzerland.
This young lady was the friendliest goat at Drumlin Farm today. She hung out by the fencing and enjoyed lots of pats. Sometimes a larger goat would push through for pats, but I'd make sure to give them both equal attention.
County Down is famed for its drumlins. Row upon row of little hills full of boulder clay around which the roads have to wind. It was very hazy this week and I loved the way the tops of the drumlins (from Scrabo hill) created layers. These drumlins run from the north of the county at Bangor all the way to the Mournes. Don't expect to use cruise control when driving the roads!
Westport, County Mayo, Ireland
According to tradition Clew Bay has 365 islands, one for each day of the year. It's swarm of little Islands are unlike anything else found in western Europe. These small islands are called ‘sunken drumlins’. They are elongated steep-sided hills (sometimes described as whale-backed) that were formed during our last ice age 12,000 years ago, when the glaciers started to melt & slide into the sea. They carved up & pushed the rocky sediment off the landscape which gathered in wave like patterned mounds on the mouth of Clew Bay creating these unique islands
Clare island guards the entrance to the sheltered bay & today is home to 130 people. Most of the others smaller islands in the bay are mainly uninhabited. Although a few brave folk still cling to the age-old tradition of living on a small island all year round. Can you just imagine living off the grid & alone on one of these islands? Bliss! 😍

Hike through the headquarters of the drumlins. This area in the Swiss canton of Zug is known for its many small hills (called drumlins). A single tree was planted on most of the prominent hills decades ago. Entering the area off the trails is undesirable and will get you into trouble with the farmers. And rightly so!
This is one of two rescue foxes that live at Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary in Lincoln, Massachusetts. They don't come out much on some days, so I was happy to find this one patrolling the large enclosure. There was a faint smell of skunk, as foxes are related to skunks, and use their special glands to mark their territory. I called to her and waved my hand before taking this photo.

Bekannt als Symbolbild der BR-Sendung „Zwischen Spessart und Karwendel“ steht die mittlerweile windzerzauste Buche auf einem Drumlin-Hügel am Weg zwischen Starnberg und Andechs bei Landstetten.
Drumlins sind längliche, stromlinienförmige Hügel in einer eiszeitlich geprägten Grundmoränenlandschaft, die in ihrer Form an auftauchende Wal“fisch“rücken erinnern.
Zum Himmel fällt mir der Spruch ein:
Schuppt sich der Himmel wie ein Fisch...
regnet's in 24 Stunden ganz gewiss
(und es stimmte)
This juvenile goat has grown a bit since my last visit to Drumlin Farm animal sanctuary. She still loves pats, of course, and waited for me by the fencing while I photographed her. I'm holding my camera through those slats of wood at the left.
I visited Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary today, where they have two rescue foxes that live in a large enclosure.
I found this grasshopper in the flower field at Drumlin Farm today. It's perched on a celosia flower.
