In spite of such negative conclusions about the possibility of determining where nunataks existed, n must, however, be considered rather probable that high peaks close to the shelf slope - and there are several areas with such a topography — might have remained ahxjve the surface of the ice sheet. Climadc conditions there must have been very harsh, however, making thechances ofsurvival ofa dora and fauna rather slim. f inally a few words about the fundamental quest- ton of the timeof the maximum ofthe iast inland ice sheet over Iceland. The rather well preserved glaci- al features and the rapid land upheaval suggest a late VVeichselian glaciation; Norddahl (1981, p. 476) refers to the earlier assumption that the maximum extent occurred 18,000 BP. His own investigations m Fnjóskadalur, however, may open the possibility ofgreaterages, at least for northem Iceland. REFERENCES van Bemmelen, R.IV. and M.G.

Víða sjást merki þess að jökullinn hefur verið svo þykkur að hann hefur skriðið út á landgrunnið og sums staðar þakið þar stór svæði. Þó verður að telja líklegt að háir tindar og hryggir hafi skagað upp úr ísbreiðunni, einkum þar sem landgrunns- ræman er mjó. Hinar vel varðveittu jökulmenjar og hið hraða landris bendir til þess að jökulskjöld- urinn hafi verið stærstur seint á síðastajökulskeiði. JÖKULL 32. ÁR 11
