哈德逊高地邓德伯格山

即使在冰河时期的大陆冰川使其轮廓变得平滑的时候，10多亿年前的古老片麻岩的高山依然屹立不倒(（详见下文）

邓德伯格山位于哈德逊河对面，与皮克斯基尔相望。邓德伯格是一个古老的荷兰语名字，意思是雷霆山。事实上，哈得逊高地的夏季雷雨放大了这些古老高地的岩石表面的繁荣。山脉是由前寒武纪片麻岩和花岗岩组成的一条带，首先在8亿年前开始的格伦维尔造山运动中褶皱，然后在奥陶纪（5-4.5亿年前）的塔肯造山运动中再次褶皱。这些造山活动标志着土卫八海洋的开始和结束，土卫八海洋在今天的大西洋所在地开放和关闭。

In 1890, an entrepreneur set out to build an inclined railway to Dunderberg's top, where riders could view the Hudson Highlands and, on a good day, Manhattan. A 15-mile downhill train ride would begin from there on a winding track all over the mountain. He put in about a million dollars of work, then quit. Now Dunderberg Mountain is in 熊山州立公园，半成品的轨道床森林覆盖.

The story of the Gilboa forest is intertwined with the history of New York and geology itself. The site, in the valley of Schoharie Creek, has been excavated several times, first after major flooding scoured the banks clean and later as dams were built and modified to hold water for New York City. The fossil stumps, some as tall as a meter, were early prizes for the state museum of natural history, being the first fossil tree trunks to be found in America. Since then they have stood as the oldest trees known to science, dating from the Middle Devonian Epoch about 380 million years ago. Only in this century were large fernlike leaves found that give us an idea of what the living plant looked like. A slightly older site, at 斯隆峡谷在卡特斯基尔山脉，最近发现了类似的化石。2012年3月1日发行的自然报道了吉尔博亚森林研究的重大进展。新的建筑工作在2010年发现了森林的原始暴露，研究人员有两周的时间来详细记录该地点。

The footprints of the ancient trees were fully visible, exposing traces of their root systems for the first time. The researchers found several more plant species, including tree-climbing plants, that painted a picture of a complex forest biome. It was the experience of a lifetime for the paleontologists. "As we walked among these trees, we had a window onto a lost world that is now once again closed, perhaps forever," lead author William Stein of Binghamton University 他告诉当地报纸. "能够获得这种访问权是一种莫大的荣幸。”加的夫大学新闻稿有更多的照片，纽约州立博物馆的新闻稿提供了更多的科学细节。

奥农达加县的圆形和绿色湖泊

Round Lake, near Syracuse, is a meromictic lake, a lake whose waters do not mix. Meromictic lakes are common in the tropics but quite rare in the temperate zone. It and nearby Green Lake are part of 绿湖州立公园. (（详见下文）

Most lakes in the temperate zone turn their waters over every autumn as the water cools. Water reaches its greatest density at 4 degrees 在上面冻结，所以当它冷却到那个温度时会下沉。下沉的水会置换下面的水，无论温度如何，结果是湖水完全混合。即使在表层结冰的情况下，新鲜的含氧深水也能在整个冬季为鱼类提供营养。有关秋季营业额的更多信息，请参见淡水捕捞指南。

圆形和绿色湖泊周围的岩石含有盐层，使湖底水成为一层浓盐水。它们的地表水没有鱼类，而是支持一个不同寻常的细菌和藻类群落，使水呈现出独特的乳白色蓝绿色。

Other meromictic lakes in New York include Ballston Lake near Albany, Glacier Lake in Clark Reservation State Park, and Devil's Bathtub in Mendon Ponds State Park. Other examples in the U.S.A. are 肥皂湖在华盛顿州和犹他州的大盐湖。

Rip van Winkle is a classic American legend from the colonial days made famous by Washington Irving. Rip was accustomed to go hunting in the Catskill Mountains, where one day he fell under the spell of supernatural beings and fell asleep for 20 years. When he wandered back to town, the world had changed and Rip van Winkle was scarcely remembered. The world has sped up since those daysyou might be forgotten in a monthbut Rip's sleeping profile, a 隐晶石，仍然留在卡茨基尔，如图所示，穿过哈德逊河。
