Abstract
Thirty-five radiocarbon dates associated with former ice sheet margins and raised marine deposits are presented from northeastern Ellesmere Island. Along the southern margin of Hazen Plateau, and in inner Archer Fiord, a prominent morpho-stratigraphic boundary is marked by the Hazen Moraines. These moraines represent a restricted ice advance during the last glaciation. A more widespread till extends out of Archer Fiord. This maximum ice advance is considered to predate the last glaciation on the basis of carbon 14 and amino acid dates from ice-marginal deposits. Previous evidence suggesting an older advance of the Greenland Ice Sheet onto this coastline is confirmed.
