Nordøsterdalsmuseet , Museumssentret Ramsmoen ,Kongsveien 6, N-2500 Tynset Conclusion: • Two (re)advances in YD are mapped and might be correlated to (re)advanses in Trøndelag • 12,800 -12,900 cal yr BP Tautra • 12,080 – 12,360 cal yr BP Hoklingen (=Kongsvolltrinn in the Hjerkinn area as shown by Follestad (2003)) • During YD maximum the surface of the inland ice was some 1800 m a.s.l. in Ottadalen Valley; the snow line some 1560 m a.s.l. north of Lesjaskog.
