Geography takes you to the unknown.

Geographers are also challenged by deciphering landscapes. This huge rock was left near the Fraser River in B.C. by a glacier at the end of the last ice age. Arnold Zageris was studying the river's ecosystem - the geology, flora and fauna - with a grant from The Royal Canadian Geographical Society when he took this picture. He wrote that the erratic - a large rock mass transported from its original site by natural causes - was as big as a truck.
