It was found that the fluted moraine crests, especially the stone-rich ones, continue on the glacier front surface as cones or stony belts. The linear ablation forms, partly filled by the supraglacial sediment, are the extensions of the crests formed from the finer material. Thus, the opinion is expressed that the ribs and furrows at the top surface of the ground moraine are the result of the supraglacial material deposition and that they reflect the differentation of the ablation relief of the front surface of the recessing glacier. Till now the fluted relief origin was joined exclusively with the subglacial conditions and such forms were considered as the indicators of the glacier movement direction.}, type={Article}, title={Sedimentation of fluted moraine in forefields of glaciers in Wedel Jarlsberg Land, Spitsbergen}, URL={http://sd.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/111203/PDF-MASTER/1989_1_003-029.pdf}, keywords={Arctic, Spitsbergen, sedimentology, fluted moraine}, }
