The Glacial History of the Svalberd Archipelago from Late Vistulian to the Present Time / Historia zlodowacenia archipelagu Svalbard od późnego vistulianu do współczesności
Abstract The glacial history of the Svalbard archipelago is often a hot topic for researches, but the articles usually refer to a particular piece of Svalbard. The authors of this work studied many scientific articles based on the researches to find and collect this history. Svalbard archipelago is...
