Ice Recession in Dronning Louise Land, North-East Greenland
The existence of high rock thresholds beneath the glaciers of Dronning Louise Land is established and examples are described. It is concluded that decrease in the height of the Greenland Ice Cap and the consequent emergence of the rock thresholds is the dominant factor in the final stages of recessi...
