such a feature) is a feasible origin for the features of this area. This evidence in association with that of rock glacier activity illustrates that these features may provide an important component in the interpretation of the glacial landforms and deposits of this, now marginally glaciated, region. ACKNO WLEDGEMENTS The field work in 1985 was carried out by the Joint Vniversity Expedition to Northern Iceland — David Martin, Angela Gent, Tracy Brennard and Janette Lee. The Expedition was assisted ftnancially by The Royal Society and The Gino Watkins Memorial Fund, Scott Polar. Elizabeth Martin gratefully acknowledges the support of a D.E.N.I. research studentship. The Icelandic Research Council kindly allowed us permission to work in Skjóldalur. Mr Hallsson and his family at Yzta-Gerði showed us inuch hospitality dttring a cold, wet summer. We also acknowledge Devizes School for their foresighted work in surveying Nautadalur rock glacier, and Tony Escritt for his assistance in providing aerial photogra- phy of the area. Dr David Thomas provided construc- tive comments on the drafts of this paper. REFERENCES Brown, W.H. 1925: A probable fossil glacier. Journal of Geology 33: 464—466.
