Extract

In the summer of 1925 I paid a visit to Møen, a Danish island situated about 50 miles south of Copenhagen, for the purpose of studying the cliff sections.

The particular object of the investigation was to ascertain how far the structure of the disturbed deposits of Møens Klint corresponded with that of the disturbed deposits of the Hadleigh Road Area, Ipswich (17, 20, 23), where the structure is strikingly analogous to that seen in Arctic glaciers; and, further, to ascertain whether the laws of structure formulated from the combined study of Arctic glaciers and disturbed glacial deposits were applicable to the Danish sections (21).

During a preliminary traverse of the area I was accompanied by Mr V. Hintze, Inspector of the Geological and Mineralogical Museum, Copenhagen, and Mrs E. Mertz of the Danish Geological Survey, thanks to the courtesy of the Director, Dr V. Madsen.
