Description :
The aim of this paper is to describe and interpret glaciofluvial complexes at three sites on Victoria Island and to use these to assess the formative melt-water conditions. Differences in esker morphology and sedimentology and landform associations are used to infer the necessary ice-sheet dynamics associated with their formation.
