Fresh Water Anchor Ice Along an Arctic Beach

Abstract

I. Location map of beaches examined in 1978 and 1979. Except for a few isolated areas of exposed bed rock in Allen Bay and Resolute Bay, the beaches between Sheringham Point and Prospect Hills are made up of moderately well-sorted gravel which is permeable to run-off water. All rivers and creeks are shown. The dotted lines along the coast indicate beach areas where the anchor belt was essentially continuous.
