Early Weichselian palaeoenvironments reconstructed from a mega‐scale thrust‐fault complex, Kanin Peninsula, northwestern Russia
A section, almost 20 km long and up to 80 m high, through alternating layers of diamict and sorted sediments is superbly exposed on the north coast of the Kanin Peninsula, northwestern Russia. The diamicts represent multiple glacial advances by the Barents Sea and the Kara Sea ice sheets during the...
