Fig. 5. Major processes operating in a fjord/bay glacio-
marine environment. Compiled and modified from
Boulton and Deynoux (1981), Elverhöi (1984), Powell

Fig. 6. Melabakkar-Ásbakkar glacio-
marine lithofacies. (A) Ásbakkar diam-
icton at 800 m. Broken line shows con-
tact with the overlying Melar diamic-
ton. Arrow points at en echelon
patterned joints; (B) A body of inter-
bedded stratified diamictons and sands,
intrabedded in facies Dmu of the Ás-
bakkar diamicton at 5000 m; (C) The
Látrar beds at 2600 m: transition from
planar cross stratified esker fan sedi-
ments, over stratified diamicton to in-
terbedded laminated silts and sands.
The exposure cuts facies Sp parallel to
foreset strike. Note the upwards trend
towards planar parallel stratification;
(D) The Melabakkar silts and sands at
500 m: a transition from glaciomarine
silts to sublittoral sands.
6. mynd. Ásýnd jökulsjávarsets í bökk-
