Yes, Wisconsin has some small glaciers present in the northern part of the state. These glaciers are remnants from the last Ice Age and are mostly found in areas like the Kettle Moraine State Forest. However, they are very small compared to the massive glaciers found in places like Alaska or Greenland.
Glaciers have shaped the landscape of Wisconsin in a number of ways. For example, the irregular landscape and boundaries of the state are a direct result of glacial melting.
The main types of glaciers are valley glaciers, ice caps, ice sheets, piedmont glaciers, outlet glaciers, and cirque glaciers. Valley glaciers form in mountain valleys, ice caps cover smaller areas, ice sheets are massive continental glaciers, piedmont glaciers form at the base of mountains, outlet glaciers are the streams of ice flowing out of ice caps or ice sheets, and cirque glaciers are located in bowl-shaped depressions on mountainsides.
