Basal radiocarbon dates from lake sites indicate that final degiaciation began at most a few centuries before 10 ka BP on the interior plateau and proceeded by down-wasting. Comparison of the pollen record with the sequence of vegetation from the Storbreen glacier foreland, Norway, studied by the Jo...
