"Agassiz was not the first to observe the phenomena of glaciation, but he was innovative in the wide-ranging character of his research, his measurements of ice formations, and his elaboration of local geology into a theory explaining Continental natural history" (D. S. B.). His concept of an "Ice Age" during which glaciers advanced and retreated over a large part of the northern land-mass not only accounted for the area's topography and rock distribution, but gave naturalists such as Darwin and Lyell a means of explaining the geographical distribution and subsequent genetic kinship of species now separated by land or water barriers."
