The idea that the Carolina Bays were produced as a result of an extraterrestrial impact on the Laurentide Ice Sheet by the Great Lakes region has many supporters, but there are diverse proposals for the mechanisms that created the bays including oblique secondary impacts by ice boulders, impacts by slush balls, and deposition of sheets of ejecta slurry with imbedded steam bubbles. This presentation examines the characteristics of high-velocity impacts on an ice sheet and studies the thermodynamics of the ejecta during the ballistic trajectory.
