Welcome back to the Montana Real Estate Channel, brought to you by Siphers Family Real Estate, proudly serving Montana since 1966! In today’s video, we dive into the incredible history of Glacial Lake Missoula and the dramatic events that shaped the landscape of the Pacific Northwest.

Glacial Lake Missoula was an enormous prehistoric body of water, located in western Montana, with depths reaching over 2,000 feet. In this video, we explore:

➤Size and Location: How the lake spanned western Montana, including Missoula and the Bitterroot Valley.
➤Ice Dam Formation: The colossal ice dam on the Clark Fork River that created the lake.
➤Cataclysmic Floods: The repeated ice dam breaks that unleashed floods, carving dramatic geological features.
➤Impact on the Landscape: How floods reshaped the terrain, leaving ripple marks, coulees, and giant ripples near Missoula.
➤Multiple Flood Cycles: The lake's 40+ refill and flood events that shaped the region.

Whether you're a history buff or just curious about the landscape of Montana, this video will give you an in-depth look at one of the most fascinating natural events in North American history.
