Environment and age of marginal formations of the last ice sheet in the south-eastern Kola Peninsula

Abstract

Studies of marginal features in the south-eastern Kola Peninsula provided evidences that the eastern part of the northern Terskiye Keivy complex began to form between the Ponoi ice dome and the White Sea ice lobe, and later developed along the latter's margin. The process most probably took place during the whole Oldest Dryas stage. The second marginal belt (situated further to the south) was formed also by the ice lobe which flowed along the White Sea basin, but is attributed to the Older Dryas. Therefore for the first time the data are obtained which clearly indicate marginal features corresponding to the Luga and Neva glacial stages to be formed in the Kola Peninsula.
