DUTKIEWICZ, L.

Description :
Investigations carried out in 1977/1978 on ice-free shores of Admiralty Bay. Effects of intensive frost weathering and structures of frost segregation, such as stone polygons, sorted circles, small stone stripes, gelifluction lobes have been observed. Some attention was also paid to slope profiles and slope processes. Almost all slopes show concave or convexo-concave profiles and arc modelled by gravitative, gelifluction and washing processes.
