Drumlin Hill

Caption

Shaped like an upturned boat, drumlin hills (pictured above) are found clustered together in their hundreds and thousands in distinct fields called swarms. They're the most common landform across large areas of northern North America and Europe, marking the footprint of massive ice sheets that formed during past ice ages.
