  • Tectonostratigraphic Succession and Development of the Finnmarkian Nappe Sequence, North Norway K
    Tectonostratigraphic Succession and Development of the Finnmarkian Nappe Sequence, North Norway K. B. ZWAAN & D. ROBERTS Zwaan, K. B. & Roberts, D. 1978: Tectonostratigraphic succession and devel opment of the Finnmarkian nappe sequence, North Norway. Norges geol. Unders. 343, 53-71. Detailed investigations of the Finnmarkian nappe sequence within the 1:250 000 map-sheets 'Hammerfest', 'Nordreisa' and 'Honningsvåg' have revealed a complex construction of discrete nappes, sub-nappes and minor thrust slices. In the Kalak (Reisa) Nappe Complex the nappes are composed not only of the übiquitous Vendian to Cambrian lithostratigraphy but also of proven (dated) or suspected, older, Precambrian, high-grade gneissic/amphibolitic units and slices of Raipas carbonates and volcanites. In places, thick sequences of gneisses and schists have been converted to blastomylonites and locally ultramylonites, mainly during the first two of four principal deformation episodes. On a regional scale, major Dj folds are present in northwesterly areas whereas further southeast a more homogeneous flattening deformation prevailed. D 2 fold structures, related to the regionally developed principal foliation, show a variable development in style and trend with fold axial rotations into a NW-SE trend related to high internal strains, noticeably towards the lower parts of the nappe units. These deformations were wholly Finnmarkian (late Cambrian - early Ordovician). Nappe translation, linked to D 2, diminished in magnitude towards the northeast. Later deformation episodes include imbrication structures on all scales which can be shown to relate to the thrusting of higher nappes containing Ordo-Silurian stratigraphies. These date to late Silurian time. The Silurian emplaced nappes continue southwards into the well-documented nappe complexes of Nordland and Trøndelag.

But then reality hits me when I jump into the deep blue water off the sailboat, the Arctic Ice and shock sets in. It might have been brash to jump off a snowy boat into an ice-cold fjord so I quickly put on some clothes and am handed a typical Norse specialty; a shot of Aquavit, a double distilled potato 40% liqueur.. Skål! While most skiers stored away their skis in April, it is not quite the end of our winter. We found the ultimate way to prolong our ski season by a few weeks. We are at the small Norwegian airport of Tromsø, 300 kilometres above the Arctic Circle, where we welcome our tired friends, who have flown in from North America. Our crew for this Arctic adventure consists of pro skier Molly Baker, a film crew from Mt. Baker and a few of our lucky Dutch friends. It’s an eclectic group and although our backgrounds are completely different, we all share a passion for skiing. For the next month we’ll be traveling by ski, boat and car through the Lyngen Alps in Northern Norway. In this remote area on the same latitude as Siberia and Alaska, where impressive mountains and deep blue fjords dominate the scenery.

Stokes <[email protected]> ABSTRACT. The recession of mountain glaciers worldwide is increasing global sea level and, in many regions, human activities will have to adapt to changes in surface hydrology. Thus, it is important to provide up-to-date analyses of glacier change and the factors modulating their response to climate warming. Here we report changes in the extent of >120 glaciers on the Lyngen Peninsula, northern Norway, where glacier runoff is utilised for hydropower and where glacial lake outburst floods have occurred. Glaciers covered at least 114 km2 in 1953 and we compare this inventory with those from 1988, 2001 and a new one from 2014, and previously-dated Little Ice Age (LIA) limits. Results show a − steady reduction in area (∼0.3% a 1) between their LIA maximum (∼1915) and 1988, consistent with increasing summer air temperatures, but recession paused between 1988 and 2001, coinciding with increased winter precipitation.
