Þrýsti-misgengi við 4975 m. glacigenic subaquatic debris flows, to form proglacial shoals or banks. The relative sea level was probably 80-90 m above the present level. Beyond the ice-mar- ginal zone, glaciomarine sedimentation continued with strong influxes of meltwater underflows and subaquatic debris flows. Continued advance of the glacier (stage C) caused large-scale glaciotectonic deformations. The gla- cier successively overran the whole basin (stage D). Around 11.700 BP the glacier retreated to a position somewhere north of the Melabakkar-Asbakkar section (stage E), in the course of retreat depositing the esker fan facies of the Látrar beds. The sea level was high, and the rhythmic glaciomarine facies of the Látrar beds, supporting a limited mollusc population, accumulated from suspended fines, underflows and ice rafting. Some time after 11.400 BP the basin was re-invaded by a glacier advancing out of the Borgarfjördur main valley (stage F). In connection with this readvance, lodgement till (the Melar diamicton) and ice-proximal delta sedi- ments (the Landhólmi sands) were deposited. The rela- tive sea level was above 30 m above the present during the delta deposition. There is evidence in the cliffs of the glacier advancing about halfway across the section to- wards south, but it may have advanced further. A trans- verse ridge of subaquatic outwash (the Asgil gravels) marks the position of the ice margin during some stage in its retreat (stage G). During stage H, some time prior to 10.000 BP, the glacier retreated from the coastal areas and the sea transgressed the isostatically depressed lowlands. Re- Fig. 19.
