What is the difference between a drumlin and a random lump of Earth?
The answer? Who knows...But if anyone does manage to find out, please let me know (preferably before i have to go and try and identify them in the Lake District in January) For those who do not know much about glaciers, drumlins are deposits left by the glacier, that look suprisingly like lumps of Earth. And while the lecturer may enthusiasticly point out 'drumlins' in a photo and hence deduce the time period, speed, direction and favourite ice cream flavour of the glacier, i am afraid i am slightly more sceptical (or incompetent, one of the above).
In other news, it's nearly Christmas! All we need is some snow...

A drumlin is like a little baby drum. It looks just like a drum, only its a third the size, and needs constant attention and care.
There... nothing like a lump of earth!
Lol... Note to self. Don't ask Vicky for help with dissertation!!
Note to Emma... that would be a little stupid anyway, given that Vicky gave up Geography as soon as she could, nearly 6 years ago... lol.
She's so sensible and clever in that way!
a drumlin is an upside down teasppon shaped lump of earth. whereas a lump of earth is just a lump of earth! No teasppon there!
