Abstract
A multitude of extensive layers have been observed by radio-echo soundings in Greenland. By comparison with the stable isotope profile from Camp Century it is found that layering in the lop of the ice has been formed in the period since the last glaciation. Radio-echo layers observed at greater depths in central Greenland may have been created in the period of the interstadials and further down possibly in the period prior to the last glaciation. Further investigations are needed to prove this.Keywords
