Case Studies of Deglaciation Patterns

Abstract

TWO cases of rather complicated patterns of deglaciation and ice movements are described. In the Pajala—Korpilombolo area the complications are caused particularly by different recession directions in two neighbouring valleys and by the difference in activity and type of recession below and above the highest shoreline. In the Saltoluokla—Stora Sjöfallet area ice movements and deglaciation were under the influence of the westward displacement of the main ice divide and of height differences up to 1000 m.
