Slidre Fiord with Eureka Weather Station: Fosheim Peninsula and Sawtooth Range
The Sawtooth Range is a jagged snow-capped mountain range on central Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada. It lies between the Fosheim Peninsula and the Wolf Valley. The Sawtooth Range is a subrange of the Arctic Cordillera. It also runs through a Canadian Forces Station, called Eureka, a base used to study any atmospheric changes to the atmosphere.
[edit] Geology
Widespread clastic deposits, 80–1,800 m (260–5,900 ft) long, on the eastern side of the Sawtooth Range are the result of debris flows and slushflows.[1]
