| Zusammenfassung: | The retreat of a glacier front at Sukkertoppen, West Greenland, has been related by lichen size measurements to the lowering of the snow level in the accumulation region of the glacier. The altitudes of two Quaternary marine shell beds near Sukkertoppen have been measured and the shell fauna contained in them has been identified. The behaviour of two adjacent ice-dammed lakes is also discussed. |
