Pictured here is Dr. Frank Karner, the creator of Earthscape. This area is his home region of the Red River Valley. One can see that he is looking over the region from an Esker. An esker is a meltwater deposit of sand and gravel the accumulated underneath a glacier. It is widely known that North Dakota was covered by glacial ice before the formation of glacial Lake Agassiz. Esker s are seen extensively in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Canada.
