Summary:ABSTRACT Evidence is presented to show that a group of knobby hills on coalescing alluvial fans along the Richardson Mountains is landslide debris rather than glacial deposit, Associated with the debris are pingo‐like features and lenses of ground ice. A heavy layer of silt over remnant snowbanks is attributed to wind deposition.
