Abstract

The earliest thorough investigations of periglacial processes in Greenland were conducted from 1956–1961 in the Mestersvig region (72°N 24´W) of central East Greenland, where a number of experimental sites were established by A.L. Washburn (Fig. 1; Washburn 1965, 1967, 1969). Results from these investigations are still of relevance, and are quoted in recent periglacial literature (e.g. Ballantyne & Harris 1994; French 1996).
