| The St Kilda archipelago lies similar to 65 km west of the Outer Hebrides and similar to 60 km east of the Atlantic shelf break, and represents a key site for testing the assertion that during the Last Local Glacial Maximum (LLGM; c. 27 ka) the British-Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS) extended to near the shelf edge in all sectors. Two consistent cosmogenic Cl-36 exposure ages averaging (>=) 81.6 +/- 7.8 kafor perched bouldersat 290 maltitudedemonstrate that the last ice sheet failed tooverrun high ground on the largest island, Hirta. Cl-36 and Be-10 exposure ages for glacially emplaced boulders on low ground indicate deposition by small, locally nourished glaciers that last occupied a north-facing valley (Gleann Mor) at c. 30.9 +/- 3.2 ka, prior to extension of... |
