Veikimorener i Finnmark,Nord-Norge

In the county of Finnmark, northern Norway, Veiki moraines have been observed by air photo interpretation in the Gaissane mountain area ( Figs. 1 and 2 ). Veiki moraines in Fennoscandia have earlier been described mainly from northern Sweden and some sites in northern Finland. In the areas where Veikimoraines are found in Finnmark, northern Norway, some special erosion landforms also exist. At several places, the cover of basal till has been removed within well-defined patches, often with a size of 400-500 r m in cross-section. The material seems to have been stripped off and transported away, probably as a frozen layer incorporated in the glacier, and then deposited by ablation in the present positions of the Veiki moraines.
