Abstract
LATE Quaternary glacio-isostatic uplift curves based on radiocarbon dates of material from raised marine formations have been constructed for several parts of the Canadian Arctic1–3. So far, none has been published for areas bordering the Hudson Strait and in particular for the north-western part of the Labrador–Ungava Peninsula.
