m higher than today. This represents the marine limit here. The beach sediments were deposited on top of the till and later also onto the face of the cliff. The valley inside Hlöduvík is about 4 km long and 2 km wide. Its lower parts are characterized by hum- mocky deposits similar to those inside Haelavík (Fig. 7). Six well developed cirques face this valley, compared to only one well developed cirque inside Haelavík (Fann- arlág). On the eastern side there are two cirques (see Fig. 7) with their floors around 150 m and 200 m above sea level, respectively. They are fronted by small mor- aines. The moraines are weathered and surrounded by a mature vegetation cover, indicating that these cirques have not been glaciated for a long time. The higher situated cirques at the head of the valley (with floors at 300-350 m) have much less vegetation. The moraines and other surfaces within them look much fresher, and they contained glaciers during the Little Ice Age (Fig. 13). Fig. 7. Air-photo of Haelavík. Sec- tions 1, 2 and 3 are indicated along the coast. The Littla Ice Age morains (numbered 0—9) are seen in the Fan- narlág cirque at the head of the val- ley. The uppermost lateral deposits laid down by a Weichselian outlet glacier, around the present 150 m level, are indicated by black arrow- heads, the lower lateral terrace around 55 m by small arrows. Note also the late glacial hummocky terrain in the lower part of the valley, the very premature cirques around the 200 m level on Haelavíkurbjarg east of the valley and the much better developed cirques in the lower part of the photograph — facing southwest towards Hlöduvík and with the floor of the lowest/westernmost one between 100 and 150 m.

Evidence from Hlöduvík shows that the outlet glacier there, fed by six cirque glaciers, advanced beyond the present coastline and deposited the till. When it with- drew the sea stood about 10-15 m higher than today. This means that the Hlöduvík glacier must have retain- ed its advanced position somewhat longer than the Haelavík glacier 2 km to the east, which retreated inside the present coastline when sea level stood about 26—27 m higher than today. This discrepancy could be due to the much larger accumulation area feeding the Hlödu- vík glacier, making it react slower to climatic improve- ment than the Haelavík glacier. Submarine Adalvík: According to the Icelandic Hy- drographic Survey (1977), two concentric zones of shall- ow banks exist at the entrance to Adalvík (Fig. 6). 16 JÖKULL 35. ÁR
