Late Weichselian deglaciation in the Oslofjord area, south Norway
The older ‘moraine lines’ outside the Ra Moraine in the outer Oslofjord area have been correlated with events in Bohuslän, Sweden. Recent radiocarbon datings in the vicinity of the Ra Moraine and a radiocarbon dated sea‐level curve for the Ski area show that the Ra Moraine was formed during the Earl...
