Description
Summary:The studies over sediments and features in the marginal zone and the forefield of the Torell, Nann and Tone glaciers (Wedel-Jarlsberg Land) in Spitsbergen enable a critical approach to the origin of inner ice-cored moraines of the Torell Glacier, considering them for the outliers of a glacier ice, enriched in a morainic material. They allow also to present a morphological evolution of this area during the Late Wòrm (= Vistulian) and the Early Holocene but first of all, since the beginning of the Little Ice Age.
