There are occasional hilly areas; in particular midtown Toronto has a number of sharply sloping hills Lake Ontario remains occasionally visible from the peaks of these ridges as far north as Eglinton Avenue 7 to 8 kilometres (4.3 to 5.0 mi) inland The Scarborough Bluffs is an escarpment along the eastern portion of the Toronto waterfront which formed during the last glacial period The other major geographical feature of Toronto is its escarpments During the last ice age the lower part of Toronto was beneath Glacial Lake Iroquois Today a series of escarpments mark the lake's former boundary known as the "Iroquois Shoreline" the escarpments are most prominent from Victoria Park Avenue to the mouth of Highland Creek where they form the Scarborough Bluffs Other observable sections include the area near St Clair Avenue West between Bathurst Street and the Don River and north of Davenport Road from Caledonia to Spadina Road; the Casa Loma grounds sit above this escarpment The geography of the lakeshore is greatly changed since the first settlement of Toronto Much of the land on the north shore of the harbour is landfill filled in during the late 19th century Until then the lakefront docks (then known as wharves) were set back farther inland than today Much of the adjacent Port Lands on the east side of the harbour was a wetland filled in early in the 20th century the shoreline from the harbour west to the Humber River has been extended into the lake Further west landfill has been used to create extensions of land such as Humber Bay Park The Toronto Islands were a natural peninsula until a storm in 1858 severed their connection to the mainland, creating a channel to the harbour the peninsula was formed by longshore drift taking the sediments deposited along the Scarborough Bluffs shore and transporting them to the Islands area the other source of sediment for the Port Lands wetland and the peninsula was the deposition of the Don River which carved a wide valley through the sedimentary land of Toronto and deposited it in the shallow harbour the harbour and the channel of the Don River have been dredged numerous times for shipping the lower section of the Don River was straightened and channelled in the 19th century the former mouth drained into a wetland; today the Don drains into the harbour through a concrete waterway the Keating Channel Climate.
