Glacitectonic composite ridge systems are found at the margins of a number of surge-type glaciers globally. On the High-Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, the pioneering work of Croot (1988a) highlighted the coincidence between composite ridge systems and surge-type glaciers on the island of Spitsberge...
