New Evidence of High-Level Glacial Drainage in the White Mountains, N.H.

Abstract A newly discovered pothole field in the White Mountains, N.H., is described, and is attributed to action of melt water from the last continental glacier. Discordance of pothole orientation with slope direction is explained by inferring the presence of a retaining wall of ice which controlle...
