| Summary: | The role of Labrador-Ungava as one of the main gathering grounds of the Pleistocene ice caps, and one of the final centres of wastage was recognised as long ago as 1896 by the government geologist A. P. Low. In spite of its obvious importance in the glacial history of North America, Labrador-Ungava has received but scant attention from research workers in the field of glacial geomorphology or geology, due mainly to the inaccessibility and uncertain weather of the peninsula. |
