The morphology, sediments and processes associated with the construction of a moraine along the western margin of the ice-shelf in George VI Sound, Antarctica, are discussed. A conceptual model of the moraine is developed and may help to explain

During the last glacial maximum in West Antarctica separate ice caps developed on Alexander Island and on Palmer Land, became confluent in George VI Sound, and discharged northward from latitude 72 S. Radiocarbon (>32,000 yr) and amino acid

Ice thickness and surface-elevation data gathered from radio echo flights over the Antarctic peninsula are presented as profiles for five major outlet glaciers in northern Palmer Land and as contour maps for an area of 8 000 km to the east of George
VI Sound-Glacier profiles appear to be closely related to ice discharge especially to convergent and divergent flow. Comparison of subglacial topography with geological evidence of faulting suggests that the area around George VI Sound is a region
The paper contains remarques on the subjects of some atmospheric phenomena in the Antarctic area, which have been gained from the satellite pictures analysis. These pictures have been received and gathered in the Arctowski Station on the King George
