The Labrador dome flowed across all of [[Maine]] and into the [[Gulf of St. Lawrence]], completely covering the [[The Maritimes|Maritime Provinces]]. The Appalachian Ice Complex, flowed from the [[Gaspé Peninsula]] over [[New Brunswick]], the [[Magdalen Islands|Magdalen Shelf]], and [[Nova Scotia]].<ref name=Dyke1987/>
The Labrador flow extended across the mouth of the [[St. Lawrence River]], reaching the [[Gaspé Peninsula]] and across [[Chaleur Bay]]. From the Escuminac center on the [[Magdalen Islands|Magdalen Shelf]], flowed onto the [[Acadian Peninsula]] of [[New Brunswick]] and southeastward, onto the Gaspe, burying the western end of [[Prince Edward Island]] and reached the head of [[Bay of Fundy]]. From the Gaspereau center, on the divide crossing New Brunswick flowed into the Bay of Fundy and Chaleur Bay.<ref name=Dyke1987/>

In New York, the ice that covered Manhattan was about 2,000 feet high before it began to melt in about 16,000 BC. The ice in the area disappeared around 10,000 BC. The ground in the New York area has since risen by more than 150&nbsp;ft because of the removal of the [[Post-glacial rebound|enormous weight of the melted ice]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=William J.
