Summary
| Description |
English: Some of the raised beaches of Southampton Island, Nunavut from above where this scrambled landform extends a long ways inland from present-day coastline.
Much of the Arctic is still !! rebounding from the removal of the last continental ice-sheet. Throughout the past 10,000 years, the local tide was just enough to rework (but not erase) each and every emergent strand line. Today's aerial skein of snow-enhanced strand lines courtesy of the spring thaw. Taken thru the window on a northern airline. |
