We present a revised chronology of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet’s glacial maximum during the Younger Dryas (Tautra event) in Mid‐Norway. Sediment records from palaeolakes near Leksvik show the occurrence of thick, laminated silt units with numerous dropstones between organic‐rich units and indicate th...
