RELATED TEXT: Most of the Boston Harbor islands are glacial drumlins. Great Brewster (below) is a good example of their typical in verted spoon shape. These formations were created between 100,000 and 15,000 years ago when glaciers moved across the region. Deposits of glacial till beneath the ice were left behind as elongated hills when the glaciers retreated.
