The Fennoscandian Ice Sheet during the Younger Dryas Stadial
The Younger Dryas (YD) moraines have been mapped almost continuously around the Fennoscandian ice sheet. Segments of the moraine have individual names, best known are the Salpausselkä in Finland, the Middle Swedish moraines in Sweden and the Ra and the Herdla-Halsnøy moraines in Norway. The outline...
