EVANS, D.J.A.

Description :
A stratigraphic sequence exposed by river erosion in the foreland of Skalafellsjokull, southern Iceland, displays 5 lithofacies documenting glaciofluvial deposition followed by glaciotectonic disturbance and subglacial deformation. The whole sequence comprising lithofacies 2-5 represents a gravel outwash/deformation till continuul displaying variable strain signatures produced in response to stress induced by the overriding of Skalafellsjokull during the Little Ice Age.
