===My name is Sarah Marsh, and I’m a 7th grader that goes to the Amigos School in Cambridge , MA. I am writing this Wiki to tell you about a field trip my class and I went on .We went to the Harbor islands, but to be more specific Georges Island .My topic is on Drumlin formation .Because of the harbor islands being mainly formed of drumlins , they can give us good information on this topic.===

===As I had mentioned ,we went to Georges Island and got a tour from two of the rangers there .We got there by bus from the school to the aquarium .From there we bought tickets and took a boat to Georges Islands .But other ways of[| getting there] can be shown at this website.Every year they have a Halloween fest ,and it’s a place that has many interesting things that you can do .For example you could explore the passage ways through the protection wall that blocked enemies from coming in .Or even explore Fort Warren .But what we did mainly was study the south and north beach ,to gather facts on drumlins and erosion .We gathered many things on drumlin formation ,like how they’re made.===

===Drumlins are actually quite interesting, for example how glaciers make them, by dropping big loads of till that they picked up before. Or how they’re formed to be what they’re now .You can see this on the north and south beaches of Georges island .I also learned about erosion, and how it affects the drumlins, especially erosion of wind, water, and tide. But one thing we did that was fun was hear the story of the lady in black, it gives you goose bumps and makes you shiver .One of the rangers brought us through a tunnel that relates to the story .We also explored fort warren, its the fort in the middle of Georges island ,where prisoners where kept because of trying to attack the harbor .Georges Island is a very historical spot and has interesting facts .I hope this Wiki will encourage people who read it to go, and to help find more about our field trip to Georges Island .You can go to the website: [|boston harbor islands] for more info.===
