This image shows the nearby summit of Mount Madison. Soft shading indicates the ridges and stronger rocks of the mountain. These mountains originally formed millions of years ago as sediments in a shallow sea that later was crushed and heated under the earth and uplifted to form mountains that were then scoured and degraded by the glacial episodes that ended about 13,000 years ago.
