Arguments concerning the nature and extent of the North American glaciation as a whole, and that of Labrador in particular, have been regularly appearing in print from 1883 until 1959. From the theories and reports presented it is possible to draw together several distinct lines of thought. Early work by Bell (1882-84), Daly (1902), and Coleman (1921) suggested that the higher parts of the eastern edge of north east America had not been covered by continental ice. Coleman goes as far as to say that in the Nachvak area, “the unglaciated condition is known to reach at least 50 miles inland, giving a driftless area of perhaps 3,000 or 4,000 square miles”, though he concedes that valley glaciers must have reached the sea in areas to the south of Nachvak.
