The complex dynamics of bluff erosion and ice-borne sediment transport will become even more difficult to forecast with sea-level rise and a more erratic storm climate. ❋ Unknown (2009)
{201} Beside a pond just outside the churchyard there is a very large ice-borne boulder, measuring about 4½ feet in length, 4 feet in width, and 1½ feet in thickness. ❋ James Conway Walter (N/A)
On the sea coast a sunken forest existed, while the shore was covered with granite boulders of many sizes and shapes, and large numbers of similar stones were ploughed up in the fields, all apparently ice-borne, and having been carried mostly from Criffel on the Scottish coast, and the following legend was told here to explain their presence on the ❋ Robert Naylor (N/A)
Have not our latter days beheld, with awe, the ice-borne Muscovite [22] ride the fierce billows of the Polar Sea? ❋ Various (N/A)
Professor Judd is that they are ice-borne boulders accidentally deposited on the Plain during the southward drift of the great ice cap. ❋ Edric Holmes (N/A)
Looking to America; in the northern half, ice-borne fragments of rock have been observed on the eastern side of the continent, as far south as latitude 36°37°, and on the shores of the Pacific, where the climate is now so different, as far south as lat. ❋ Unknown (1909)
In the Azores, from the large number of plants common to Europe, in comparison with the species on the other islands of the Atlantic, which stand nearer to the mainland, and (as remarked by Mr.H. C. Watson) from their somewhat northern character in comparison with the latitude, I suspected that these islands had been partly stocked by ice-borne seeds, during the Glacial epoch. ❋ Unknown (1909)
And next, stripping from off the landscape its sands and gravels, we see its underlying boulder-clays, dingy and gray, and here presenting their vast ice-borne stones, and there its iceberg pavements. ❋ Nasmyth, James (1885)
In the Azores, from the large number of the species of plants common to Europe, in comparison with the plants of other oceanic islands nearer to the mainland, and (as remarked by Mr H.C. Watson) from the somewhat northern character of the flora in comparison with the latitude, I suspected that these islands had been partly stocked by ice-borne seeds, during the Glacial epoch. ❋ Unknown (1859)
Looking to America; in the northern half, ice-borne fragments of rock have been observed on the eastern side as far south as lat. 36\@-37\@, and on the shores of the pacific, where the climate is now so different, as far south as lat. 46\@; erratic boulders have, also, been noticed on the Rocky Mountains. ❋ Unknown (1859)

Looking to America; in the northern half, ice-borne fragments of rock have been observed on the eastern side as far south as lat. 36 deg-37 deg, and on the shores of the Pacific, where the climate is now so different, as far south as lat. 46 deg; erratic boulders have, also, been noticed on the Rocky Mountains. ❋ Charles Darwin (1859)
No zoologist of note believes that there has been a submergence of the land lying between the Pacific and the Atlantic since the pliocene period, and icebergs could not have floated without such submergence, so that, in the cases I have mentioned, the boulders, if ice-borne, have been carried by glaciers and not by floating ice. ❋ Thomas Belt (1855)
Azores is in showing the probability of ice-borne seeds having stocked the islands, and thus accounting for the number of European species and their unexpectedly northern character. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)

Then he turned and went slowly up the stair, and came out on to the open face of that Isle, and he saw that it was waste indeed, and dreadful: a wilderness of black sand and stones and ice-borne rocks, with here and there a little grass growing in the hollows, and here and there a dreary mire where the white-tufted rushes shook in the wind, and here and there stretches of moss blended with red-blossomed sengreen; and otherwhere nought but the wind-bitten creeping willow clinging to the black sand, with a white bleached stick and a leaf or two, and again a stick and a leaf. ❋ William Morris (1865)
Nova Scotia, where it joins the Bay of Fundy; and I ascertained that on the shores of the same bay, at the South Joggins, in the year 1850, much larger blocks had been removed by coast-ice, and after they had floated half a mile, had been dropped in salt water by the side of a pier built for loading vessels with coal, so that it was necessary at low tide to blast these huge ice-borne rocks with gunpowder in order that the vessels might be able to draw up alongside the pier. ❋ Charles Lyell (1836)
