The aim of this paper is to illustrate and describe the meltwater features associated with this expanded Antarctic Ice Sheet that overrode the Transantarctic Mountains. The AA. start by outlining the pattern and process of the long-term landscape
evolution of the mountain blocks in southern Victoria Land. They then turn to the meltwater features indicative of overriding.
The lake, Nigardsvatn, has been studied since 1968 in order to obtain data on solid material carried by the meltwater stream from the glacier, both in suspension and as bottom load. Between 70 and 85% of the suspended sediment has been deposited
