- The eastern part of the Svalbard archipelago and the adjacent areas of the Barents Sea were subject to extensive erosion during the Late Weichselian glaciation. Small remnants of older sediment successions have been preserved on Edgeoya, whereas a more complete succession on Kongsoya contains sediments from two different ice-free periods, both probably older than the Early Weichselian. Ice movemeht indicators in th eregion suggest that the Late Weichselian ice radiated from a centre east of Kong Karls Land. On Bj~rnOya, on the edge of the Barents Shelf, the lack of raised shorelines or glacial striae from the east indicates that the western parts of the ice sheet were thin during the Late Weichselian. The deglaciation of Edgeoya and Barentsoya occurred ca 10,300 BP as a response to calving of the marine based portion of the ice sheet. Atlantic water, which does not much influence the coasts of eastern Svalbard today, penetrated the northwestern Barents Sea shortly after the deglaciation.
