Reconstruction of north-eastern margin of the Scandinavian ice sheet in Late Valdaian time

Abstract

The paper summarizes fieldwork data on glacio-marginal formations in the Kola Peninsula and adjoining areas of the Barents and the White Seas (an empiricalmodel). The spatial reconstruction-of the Kolian Glacial Lobe off the Scandinavian ice sheet during the Last Glacial Maximum is performed by means of math modelling. On the base of these models the authors suggest that Scandinavian ice sheet under its own physical parameters did not spread farther than the Kanin Peninsular to the east and the Murman near-by offshore (Kola shelf of the Barents Sea) to the north.
