obviously less power of resistance to the frost erosion tlian the crystalline 

 rocks of the east side of the fjord. 



'^^rhe onl\' niamier in w liicli 1 can explain wliy. in spite of this, the 

 strandfiat is so much broader aufl lower on the east side, is that the 

 glaciers have cut away the Devonian rocks more easily than the crystalline 

 schists and granites, and that during the deepening of the fjord during 

 late glacial periods, after the strandfiat was formed more or less, the 

 western side of the fjord has been more excavated than its eastern side. 



I did not land at Grey Hook, but, seen from the sea, it looked as 

 if the strandfiat is wide and fairly low in that region, which has been 

 less exposed to the erosion of the glaciers of \\ ijde Bay as well as 

 of Liefde Bay. 



On ]\'iiccgcn Hook 1 was ashore. The strandfiat is very wide and 

 low, cut in mica-schist anrl hornblende-schist, its surface being to a great 

 extent formed of bare rock which is in manv places scoured anrl rounded 

 by glacial erosion (Fig. 159). At the outer edge of this plane a cliff much 

 disintegrated by frost was observed inside a flat somewhat raised beach, 

 near the present shore (see Fig. 15).
