Topographic map and imagery showing terrain between Wijdefjorden and the Berglivatnet lake basin. A Black arrows indicate the outlet of Berglivatnet (46 m a.s.l.). Note, the basin is located beneath the 50 m contour line (lowermost solid contour). Inset boxes (B, C, and D) mark locations of aerial imagery where raised beach sediments are visible. The 50 m contour line (dashed-bold) is highlighted. Box E is an inset to image D. Stars mark the approximate location and elevation (±2 m) of the uppermost raised beach in each inset. Inset (C) shows discontinuous beach sediments extending up to ~80 m a.s.l. potentially reflecting the regional marine limit. Circles mark core sites from Auer et al.
