Abstract
Mapping and detailed morphological evidence suggests that mounds and ridges at 1200 to 1350 m in upper Breiseterdalen, western Jotunhcimen probably represent Rogen moraines, ice sheet marginal moraines and a cirque moraine. 14C dates from an intermoraine hollow suggest that peat development began about 8800 BP, confirming a Preboreal age for deglaciation. A need for a revised deglaciation chronology is suggested, with evidence for active ice present comparatively close to the present glacier limits until a late stage of deglaciation. A possible correlation of the Breiseterdalen moraines with similarly dated marginal moraines in southwest Norway is discussed.
