Illinois was shaped primarily by three major glaciers during the last Ice Age: the Wisconsin, the Illinoian, and the Kansan glaciers. The Wisconsin glacier, which advanced most recently, covered the northern part of the state, forming features like the Chicago area and the northern plains. The Illinoian glacier, which preceded it, affected central and southern Illinois, while remnants of the Kansan glacier can be found in the southern regions. These glaciers sculpted the landscape, creating fertile plains and various geological formations.
