Svalbard and the Barents Sea shelf have repeatedly been covered by large ice sheets during the Pleistocene. Most of the evidence for this comes from the marine record, but there are a hand-full of sites where the evidence for multiple glacier advances on Svalbard have been preserved in the terrestrial stratigraphic record; one of them being the coastal sections at Kapp Ekholm situated in the central parts of Svalbard.
