The Vashon Glaciation, Vashon Stadial or Vashon Stade is a local term for the most recent period of very cold climate in which during its peak, glaciers covered the entire Salish Sea as well as present day Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia and other surrounding areas in the western part of present-day Washington (state) of the United States of America. This occurred during a cold period around the world known as the last glacial period. This was the most recent cold period of the Quaternary glaciation, the time period in which the arctic ice sheets have existed. The Quaternary Glaciation is part of the Late Cenozoic Ice Age, which began 33.9 million years ago and is ongoing. It is the time period in which the Antarctic ice cap has existed.

  • Die Vashon-Vereisung oder das Vashon-Stadium (auch Vashon-Gletscher) ist ein lokaler Ausdruck für die jüngste Periode sehr kalten Klimas, während dessen Höhepunktes die gesamte Region am Puget Sound und an der Juan-de-Fuca-Straße, also die heutigen Städte Seattle, Tacoma und Olympia sowie die sie umgebenden Gebiete im Westen des heutigen US-Bundesstaats Washington, von Gletschern bedeckt waren. Dies geschah während einer weltweiten Kaltzeit, welche als die letzte bekannt geworden ist. Es handelt sich um die jüngste Kaltzeit der Quartären Vereisung. Sie zählt damit zu der seit 2,58 Millionen Jahren andauernden Klimaperiode. (de)
