Description:
Lichens were found growing on some of the supraglacial debris of six small, active, retreating valley glaciers in southern Norway. The circumstances permitting their growth are discussed, as is the possibility of their surviving pro-glacial deposition under current and past conditions. Their occurrence does not appear to present a problem to careful lichenometric surveys of Holocene glacial and fluvio-glacial deposits.
