The Origin of Lake Basins

Abstract

THE question of the origin of lake basins has again been raised, and, unfortunately, there is even now the same diametrical opposition between the views of the glacialists and their adversaries. Though the old lines of argumentation, perhaps, have not been followed out with sufficient perseverance, new starting-points certainly seem desirable. I should therefore like to challenge the criticism in your columns on a demonstration of the glacial origin of the greatest fjord basins in Norway.
