Du côté est de la baie de la Trinité, quelques blocs erratiques originaires de la partie principale de l'île se trouvent à une altitude entre 20 et 25 pieds, et sont très proches de la limite maximale de la transgression marine, ce qui fait supposer que la nappe de glace de la partie principale de l'île était active après un recul considérable de la calotte glaciaire d’Avalon et de la submersion marine des grèves actuelles de la presqu'île Avalon. 3, record 4, French, - calotte%20glaciaire%20d%26rsquo%3BAvalon
