Abstract
On the basis of radiocarbon ages in lake sediments collected near our field site in the Pangnirtung Fjord area and elsewhere on Baffin Island, Wolfe et al. argue for continued acceptance of the Atraditional weathering zone modelB and the existence of glacier-free highlands that functioned as refugia Ž.through at least the last glacial maximum LGM . Although our original paper Bierman et al., 1999 considers both of these topics only in passing, we appreciate the opportunity to discuss Wolfe et al.’s ideas in light of new results, both ours and theirs, obtained and r or published after our original paper was submitted in 1997. In contrast to the certainty with which Wolfe et al. declare the continued validity of the weathering zone model and the existence of extensive ice-free refugia throughout Wisconsinan time, we still believe that data pertinent to defining the extent and duration of ice cover on the highlands of Baffin Island remain contradictory
