Abstract

Biogenic deposits of small lakes and bogs of the Eemian Interglacial were found in kettle holes on the Nidzica Plateau, southwestern Mazury Lakeland. Absence of any glacigenic cover of these deposits proves that the plateau developed during the Mława Stadial of the Wartanian Glaciation. It has located therefore outside the ice sheet limit of the Vistulian Glaciation.
