“Basket-of-eggs topography” is a descriptive term used for landscapes characterized by a large number of drumlins. Drumlins are streamlined, elongated hills formed by glacial ice acting on underlying unconsolidated material. They are typically shaped like an inverted spoon or half-buried egg, with the blunt end facing upstream (towards the ice flow) and the tapered end pointing downstream. When numerous drumlins are present together in a region, they create a distinctive pattern resembling a basket filled with eggs from an aerial view.
