these dunes are a result of massive ice sheets which covered michigan, and much of north america, during the pleistocene epoch. glaciers transported sand and
beaches are constantly reshaped by the waves. on some beaches, wind blows off the sea and rolls dry sand inland, creating hills of sand called sand dunes.
