What are Drumlins
• The word drumlin comes form the Irish word druim.
• Drumlins are made up of sediment deposited by a glacier.
• Swarms of drumlins have shaped the geography of many areas around the world.

Introduction to The Origin of Glacially Fluted Surfaces
• Disputes existing theories of tunnels causing drumlins
• Proposes new theory involving pressure differences caused by obstructions
• Flutes similar to shear marks

Method and Research of Boulton
• 13 glaciers• Height of obstruction
important• Subglacial
observations• Till-fabric
measurements • Folding

Theory
• Cavities will tend to occur when:
• Flute sizes depend on the stresses surrounding it.
• Rejects frozen till hypothesis

Interrelationship Between Flutes on Fluted Surfaces
• Claims ideas are erroneous of rhythmic mechanism to spacing of flutes.
• Depends on number of boulders in glacier
• Flutes interact to form different shapes
