Description
Explore the geology of Magazine Beach in Cambridge and uncover the stories hidden in its rocks and landscape. Discover different rock types, examine local formations, and delve into the geologic history of both Magazine Beach and the Charles River.
You might be surprised to learn that the Charles River took shape through glacier movement roughly 12,000 years ago. There is much more waiting beneath the surface, literally and figuratively, as you explore this dynamic riverside landscape.
