Localities visited on Excursions during the Nordic Symposium on Frozen Ground Morphology

Johnsson, G.: Localities visited on Excursions during the Nordic Symposium on Frozen Ground Morphology. Geografisk Tidskrift 82: 99–103. Copenhagen, October 15, 1982.

The localities showing periglacial phenomena of various kinds that were demonstreated on September 7, 8 and 10 during the frozen ground symposia are described in this report with text and illustrations. The objects demonstrated were, i.a., periglacial valleys formed chiefly through gelifluction, an ice-wedge cast with infilling of lime, large ice-wedge casts of the most common type in south Sweden, lateglacial aeolian sand underlain by wind eroded stones and boulders, fossil periglacial ground surfaces with overlying sand with small ice-wedge casts and asymmetrical periglacial valleys.
