Abstract
"Labradorean and Keewatin ice-sheets were separate only in very late Wisconsin before that a single Laurentide sheet existed, originating as valley glaciers in highlands of East Quebec, Labrador and Baffin Island and fed by south and west winds. The ice formed broad low domes caused by exceptional concentrations of snowfall. Cordilleran glacial complex a separate system."--Meteorological abstracts and bibliography, July 1950. v. 1, no. 7, p. 462-63.
