Regional setting of sediment gravity core TTR13-AT-479G (labelled 479 G) located at 64°24.37′N 54°45.08′W, with modern surface ocean circulation pattern (after68) and (B) indication of the Outer Hellefisk Moraine complex on the Southwest Greenland shelf (based on18) as well as (C) a sparker record (line 28) illustrating a cross-section of this moraine system at 65° 42.8′N 55° 28.5′W18. Location of the sparker section is given in B. Water depth on the site of the moraine is 150–200 m (based on sound velocity 1500 m/s), and moraine height is about 25 m. The moraine deposits are presumably partly covered by a thin veneer of postglacial sediment.
