Thick Multiple Ice-contact Deposits Adjoining the Sill at the Entrance to Hudson Strait, Canada

  • Chapter
Glaciated Continental Margins

Hudson Strait has been a major route for drawdown and discharge of Laurentide ice from Hudson Bay and adjoining Ungava and Baffin land masses onto the continental shelf and into the North Atlantic during the Quaternary [see e.g. Dyke and Prest, 1987; Hughes, 1987].
