Expeditions with Patrick McMillan: Carolina Bays

Expeditions with Patrick McMillan: Carolina Bays - Geologic Mysteries and Natural Wonders
Air Date: May 11, 2008

When the first airplane pilots flew over the coastal plain of the Carolinas they must have been shocked to notice a seemingly endless number of elliptical depressions dotting the landscape. These are Carolina bays; but how were they created? Why are they all so similar in shape and orientation? Join Patrick and guest expert Richard Porcher as they visit some of the most picturesque and healthy bays to devine how they function, how they should be managed and perhaps how they were formed.
