For the Torngat and Kaumajet-Kiplapait Mountains of northern Labrador, an early Torngat Glaciation is believed responsible for widely scattered erratics on the highest peaks and the later Koroksoak Glaciation for high-level lateral moraines, kame terraces, and a felsenmere trimline well below the mountain tops (Wheeler, 1958; Ives, 1958a, b, 1960a; Tomlinson, 1959; Loken, 1962). 3, record 1, English, - Koroksoak%20Glaciation

Dans les monts Torngat, Kaumajet et Kiglapait, dans le nord du Labrador, on croit qu'une glaciation ancienne, dite glaciation des Torngat, a donné naissance aux blocs erratiques dispersés sur les cimes les plus élevées et que postérieurement, une glaciation, la glaciation de Koroksoak, a donné naissance aux moraines latérales à haute altitude, aux terrasses de kames et à l'assemblage de fragments rocheux qui limite la végétation arborescente, bien au-dessous des cimes de montagnes (Wheeler, 1958; Ives, 1958a, b, 1960a; Tomlinson, 1959; Loken, 1962). 3, record 1, French, - glaciation%20de%20Koroksoak
