The glacial landscape beneath the Maudheimvidda ice sheet in East Antarctica was most probably formed during a more temperate phase of Antarctic glaciation than the present. Overdeepened glacial cirques and U‐shaped valleys are found in the Heimefrontfjella and Vestfjella mountain ranges. These glac...
