Abstract The lecture was a review of the research work carried out by the author and his collaborators, as well as by J. Gjessing and students working for their final degree. Attention is called to the existence of local centres in western regions even during the maximum of the last glaciation, as well as the transition from down-wasting of dead ice near the ice divide to backward melting of partly active glacier tongues in the high mountains near the sea. Regional reconstructions of the waning of the glacier ice are attempted.
