Agassiz

For his research, Agassiz visited many places in the northern parts of Europe and North America, from the mountains of Scandinavia and New England to the rolling hills of the American Midwest.

阿加西为了研究，访问了欧洲北部和北美的许多地方，从斯堪的纳维亚的山脉和新英格兰走到美国中西部起伏的丘陵。

Eventually, Agassiz and others convinced geologists and the general public that a great continental glaciation had extended the polar ice caps far into regions that now enjoy temperate climates.

最后，阿加西和其他人说服了地质学家和普通大众，一个巨大的大陆冰川作用已经把极地冰帽延伸到了现在享受温带气候的地区。

In all these diverse regions, Agassiz saw signs of glacial erosion and sedimentation.

在这些不同的地区，Agassiz 都能发现冰川侵蚀和沉降的痕迹。

Agassiz immediately began to question him to find out what he knew.

阿加西当即向他开始提问，想了解他都知道些什么。

Later, Agassiz admitted that they had "started on the wrong track."

后来，阿加西承认，他们已经“开始了错误的轨道上。”
