* Drumlins: These are elongated, teardrop-shaped hills formed by the movement of glacial ice. They are a prominent feature on the island, with some reaching over 200 feet in height.
* Esker: These are long, winding ridges of sand and gravel deposited by meltwater streams flowing beneath the glacial ice. They are visible in places around the island.
* Outwash plain: The flat, relatively level land surrounding the island was formed by the deposition of sediment from the melting glacier.
* Bluffs: The island's shoreline features high, steep cliffs formed by erosion, both by glacial action and later by the Great Lakes.
* Shorelines: The island's diverse shoreline includes both rocky cliffs and sandy beaches, reflecting the varying types of rock and the influence of glacial erosion.
While these are the major landforms, Mackinac Island also features smaller features like:
* Moraines: Ridges of sediment deposited at the edge of a glacier.
* Kames: Small, conical hills of sand and gravel deposited by meltwater streams.
These landforms contribute to the island's unique and picturesque landscape, making it a popular tourist destination.
