Late glacial ice flows in northern Kainuu and Peräpohjola, North-East Finland
Several ice flows postdating the Peräpohjola interstadial are indicated in northern Kainuu and Peräpohjola. The oldest extended over the whole region and was directed from west to east. The younger flows, of which there were at least three in the south‑eastern part of the region and two in the north...
