Abstract
Based on imagery and experiences from areas influenced by the last Scandinavian ice sheet (Weichsel), the potential use of satellites (Landsat) for imaging large-scale glacial accumulations, especially marginal deposits, is discussed. The ability of satellite imagery to bring consistency in apparently disperse terrain elements and to visualize landscape systems because of its wide overview is pointed at.The testified advantage of multiband recording for getting a differentiated portrait of the landscape composition and material properties is valid also for this topic, but of still greater importance is the multidate approach, as a repeated recording will offer chances to obtain optimal (contrast-rich) imagery. The possibility of getting information on marginal features in less known and remote areas for detecting accumulation systems, or for making geomorphological comparison between marginal areas in different parts of a former glaciation, is illustrated with examples from the Verchojansk mountains and the Kola peninsula.
