Unfrozen: Life at the Edge of the Ice Age
Three stories about Montana during the Pleistocene
The Ice Age was one of the most important chapters of Glacier’s past. Northern Montana was buried under, and sculpted by massive walls of ice.
But what was the world like at the edge of that ice? We turn back the clock over 12,000 years to find floods, camels, kindness, and more.
This is an episode titled Becoming | Unfrozen, from season three of Headwaters. Season Three dives into the history of northwest Montana—finding unfamiliar perspectives on familiar stories.
“Living, breathing mammoth. Not the bones, the dead part.
You’re looking at living behavior.”
