Data from two surveys by multi-beam sonar and two by marine/terrestrial LiDAR are used to evaluate the geomorphology of the seafloor in littoral areas of the Canadian Arctic Channels, near King William Island, Nunavut. Submarine terrains show well-preserved glacial landforms (drumlins, mega-scale gl...
