The whole region, perhaps except for northem Nansen Land, was covered by the Inland Ice in ?pre-Eemian time. A much younger stage, characterised by fresh moraines at the fjord mouths and along Robeson Kanal, is assigned a Late Weichselian age. Deglaciation began c. 10 000 years B.P. Reworked pre-Holocene shelIs are rather common, and Holocene marine deposits occur sporadieally. The marine limit varies from Co 125 m to c. 60 m.
