By employing a landsystems approach, the AA. identify and describe 3 quite different assemblages of landscape features across the main islands of Mainland, Yell and Unst. Using the spatial interrelationship of these landsystems, an assessment
of their constituent elements, and comparisons with similar features in other glaciated environments, the AA. propose a simple model for the last glaciation of Shetland.

directional changes and anthropogenic changes. Polish multidisciplinary research concerning the physical, chemical and biological processes in the region of Admiralty Bay (King George Island, South ShetlandIslands) demonstrates such variability.

Both the olivine bearing tholeiite basalts of the island and the brown soils which have developed on the basalts contain 2-20 % of a Mg-rich, Fe2+ and Al-bearing tri-octahedral smectite, e. g. Mg-saponite. Due to petrographic and crystal chemical

La cartographie géomorphologique de Unst, l'île la plus septentrionale des Shetland, met en évidence à la fois une originalité morphostructurale et des caractéristiques morphogéniques qui ont valeur générale pour l'ensemble de l'archipel.

As well as the development of oil from the 1970s there has been the other major economic innovation of fish farming. The direct employment provided by the oil industry is exceeded by the fish-related industries. The islands have now to look more
to fish-related employment for their future. Fish farming has a notable effect in distributing employment throughout the islands. Fish processing is mainly in central locations.

This paper presents the results of a fieldwork and the subsequent laboratory analysis of collected samples on the King George Island. As participant of the 22nd Polish Antarctic Expedition one of the authors studied the process of mass movements
on two samples areas. Mass movement is the most important process of the geomorphologic evolution on the glacier free surfaces (oases) on the Antarctic islands. - (JS)

The A. is protesting at the publication of the paper on last glaciation of Shetland by Golledge et al. (2008). For him, since the method of study they used (remote sensing, NEXTMap) does not reveal the sense of the direction in which the ice flowed
and since they ignored earlier ground-based work involving striations which do reveal the sense of direction of ice flow, their conclusions, that during that period Shetland had been overrun by ice from Scandinavia, have no scientific basis.
