occurrence of examples of less pronounced moutonnéed forms is 
not excluded. 
North of Germania Land the moutonnéed landform looses a great 
deal of its significance as a feature of the landscape. All of the 
groups of islands in Jokelbugten, including Norske Øer and the 
eastern part of Lamberts Land, still form extensive rounded ranges 
(see Fig. 66, Nordre Depot), but already on Hovgaards Ø the pro- 
nouncedly moutonnéed landform is restricted to small areas near 
the coast, and further north moutonnéed rocks are only met with 
here and there at the coasts, presumably also everywhere on islands

and skerries, as for instance on Prinsesse Thyras Ø at the mouth of 
Danmarks Fjord. 
The plateau landforms. 
The western part of Germania Land between Hellefjord and Kap 
Récamier forms a nearly horizontal plateau, the altitude of which 
above the level of the sea is 800m. The declivity towards east is 
rather steep; towards west the plateau slopes gently in the direction 
of the inland ice. The surface of the plateau is slightly undulating; the 
solid rock is in this place completely hidden by loose stones; clay 
does not occur at all; gravel and sand only appear sporadically in 
quite small quantities among the stones. The bulk of the loose 
stones are products of disintegration belonging to the place itself; 
still, also blocks of sandstone occur and of a sort of red granite, 
which is not indigenous and therefore suggests transport by the ice.
