Abstract:

Stretching across the Atlantic Coastal Plain from Florida to New Jersey are around 500,000 elliptical depressions known as Carolina Bays. Over half of them are found in eastern Carolina, and they are a land feature that exists nowhere else in the world. No one knows how they were formed.
