Abstract

Maps and describes features indicating marine transgression and ice movement in the area approx. 64-71 N, 74-88 W, viz.: raised beaches, marine shell localities, perched boulders, glacial striae, drumlinoid ridges, glacial flutings, craig and tail structures, eskers, and directions of ice movement. The maximum extent of the last marine submergence is considered and the presumed extent mapped. Elevations in feet of raised beaches and marine shell localities are given.
