Figure 7. Examples of ice-shoved (glaciotectonic) features of New Siberian Islands produced by glacial pressure from the north. (A) asymmetric ice-thrust ridges of Novaya Sibir Island; and (B) a block diagram showing inferred Pleistocene structure of the island: glaciotectonic slices thrust upon each other and entraining mammoth tusks [Grosswald, 1989]. The features are analogous to Massachusetts coastal moraines of NE USA [Oldale and O'Hara, 1984], but instead of facing seaward as in USA, they face landward.
