ABSTRACT: Marine sediment cores were obtained from in front of the tidewater glaciers in Marian and Potter coves in the South Shetland Islands in the austral summer of 1998-1999. Sedimentological and geochemical data from these cores document an advance of ice tongue for the deposition of clast-supported, massive diamicton, interpreted as having been produced by ice rafting in front of glacier margin and/or releasing of clasts from basal debris zones in the sub-ice tongue setting. A C-14 chronology for a core indicates that glacial advance took place ca. 1450−1700 yrs B.P., coincident with warm, humid phase in the study area. During this period, the glacier margin was likely to advance and release diamicton clasts, inferred from a reduction in the total organic carbon content, and an increase in sand and clasts within the diamicton facies. The glacial advance probably caused enhanced ice-edge blooms near the core sites, resulting in increased abundance of sea-ice related diatoms i.e., Fragilariopsis curta and Fragilariopsis cylindrus in the diamicton. The warm and humid conditions between 1450−1700 yrs B.P. might allow the intrusion of warm circumpolar deep water within the fjords, bringing about increased abundance of warm water form, i.e., Fragilariposis kerguelensis. On the other hands, this warming condition probably prohibited the intrusion of Weddell Ice shelf water from the fjord, as evidenced by lack of cold water form, Thalassiosira antarctica, in the diamicton. Clearly, the response of the outlet glacier system along the periphery of the South Shetland Islands Ice Sheet during the late Holocene warm, humid period (1450−1700 yrs B.P.) was expansion. Thus the process of clast-supported massive diamicton formation is likely to be applicable to a number of areas of the modern and Quaternary Antarctic Peninsula. Key words: massive diamicton, King George Island, glacial advance during warm and humid climate. 1. INTRODUCTION Massive diamictons occurring within glacially-influenced environments have been interpreted in several ways, depending in part on the nature of any included facies and on their contacts and association with overlying and underlying facies (Eyles et al., 1983). Massive diamictons associated with glacial sedimentation on land are often interpreted to *Corresponding author: [email protected]. result from till deposition at the base of active glaciers (Lawson, 1981; Eyles et al., 1983; Dreimanis, 1988). In glaciomarine environments, massive diamicton may originate from debris release by basal melting at the grounding line beneath floating ice shelves (Anderson et al., 1983, 1991; Hambrey et al., 1991), and suspension settling from melting icebergs (Andrews and Matsch, 1983; Eyles et al., 1985; Eyles and Lagoe, 1990), or from subaqueous debris flows (Moncrieff and Hambrey, 1990; Hambrey et al., 1991). The heads of Marian and Potter coves, glacially-influenced, U-shaped fjords located in King George Island of the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica, form a region that is influenced strongly by the tidewater glaciers that flow directly into the sea and extensive ice walls sourced from the Collins Ice Cap in King George Island (Fig. 1). The tidewater glaciers produce large number of icebergs (Yoon et al., 1997), which drift through the fjord systems and onto the shelf (Chang et al., 1995). These icebergs are generally depleted in clasts. Acoustic records from Marian Cove show that the sea floor of the fjord, 100−130 m deep, is characteristically highly irregular, but is draped by soft marine sediments (Yoon et al., 1997). This paper details the coarse-grained facies in the lower part of the core sediments from the ice-proximal part of Marian and Potter coves (Fig. 1). This sedimentary record is interpreted in terms of the massive diamictons (poorly sorted, muddy pebbly sands). The environmental implications of the massive diamicton facies in the geological record are then discussed. 2. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The Marian and Potter coves are bounded by the Weaver and Barton peninsulas, and the Barton and Potter peninsulas, respectively (Fig. 1). The Marian Cove is bathymetrically separated from Maxwell Bay by a shallow (less than 40 m) submarine sill at the mouth (Fig. 2). Small tidewater glaciers, draining southeast from the cove head, debouches large amounts of icebergs and turbid meltwater into the.

Coastal area largely consists of rocky beaches, which are exposed to storm waves entering the coves from Maxwell Bay. Tidewater glaciers and extensive ice walls are mostly confined to the head of the fjords and the surfaces of these glaciers are heavily crevassed and covered by silt-sized volcanic material of eolian origin. Meltwater streams form small outwash fans along the fjord walls of Marian Cove (Fig. 1). At the fjord head freshwater input due to snow and glacial melts not only. dilutes but also causes weak-estuarine circulation (Chang et al., 1995). Marian and Potter coves lie under a relatively warm and humid regime with high precipitation (Reynolds, 1981). The meteorological data recorded at King Sejong Station on King George Island, over the last seven years (1987−1994) show that the average relative humidity is 86% and the maximum average annual air temperature is above 1.4 oC with average annual precipitation of 1169 mm water equiv-.

This climatic condition leads to a temperate to sub-polar glacial setting, which can be more sensitive to changes in the environmental factors that influence the advance and retreat of glacier margin (Hoskin and Burrell, 1972; Anderson et al., 1980; Park et al., 1998). The study area is ice-free between October and June. Pack ice begins to form in July and from August through October the areas are ice-covered. During the latter part of October ice begins to rapidly break up. Geology of the surrounding landmasses is composed of Upper Jurassic or Lower Tertiary basaltic andesite intruded by diabase and quartz diorite (Adie, 1971; Thomson, 1972; Rex, 1976; Davis, 1982; Smellie et al., 1984). Geomorphological studies on King George Island and its vicinity report that the region has a complex history of glaciation and sealevel change since the late Wisconsin time (John and Sugden, 1971; Clapperton and Sugden, 1982). Deglaciation from the southernmost coast to Fildes Ice Cap of King George Island between 9000 and 5000 yrs B.P. has been suggested (Mäusbacher et al., 1989). Furthermore, palaeoclimatic studies for the late Holocene lake sediment and peat units from the Fildes Peninsula suggest the retreat of ice sheet at about 2000 yrs B.P. and the advances at about 3000 and 1000 yrs B.P. (Tatur and del Valle, 1986; Mäusbacher et al., 1989). These studies have been, however, restricted to terrestrial regime. Adjoining Fildes Peninsula, our study areas of marine regime, Maxwell Bay and adjoining Marian Cove, may hold a more complete record of the ice sheet fluctuations, thereby improving the understanding of the glacial and climatic records over the region. 3. METHODS 3.1. Sediment Sampling Two sediment cores from Marian Cove and one from Potter Cove were obtained using gravity corer (Fig. 1). Among them, the core MC01 from in front of glacier margin in Marian Cove was analyzed sedimentologically, geochemically and micropaleontologically to reconstruct paleoenvironmental changes. The other two cores were visually correlated with core MC01 (Fig. 3) based on lithofacies character. 3.2. Laboratory Analyses Volume magnetic susceptibility (MS) of the core MC01 was determined at 2 cm intervals using a Bartington MS-2B core sensor. Values of MS are expressed as 10-6 in cgs unit. The cores were cut lengthwise in the laboratory; one half was visually described and sliced for X-radiographs, and the other was used for subsampling. Subsamples were taken every 2 cm down the length of the cores to determine grain size, total organic carbon (TOC), and calcium carbonate. Fig. 3.

Grain size distribution for the −4.0 to 4.0 ø size fractions was determined by dry sieving. Finer fractions (s = 4.0−10.0 ø) were analyzed by a Micrometrics Sedigraph 5000D. The method for computer processing of the raw data is given by Jones et al. (1988) and the classification of sediments followed Folk and Ward’s scheme (1957). Physical sedimentary and biogenic structures were revealed through X-radiographs of 1-cm-thick sediment slabs. Microfossil assemblages, i.e., benthic foraminifers and diatoms, were examined in each sample. Total and carbonate carbons were determined by a Carlo Erba NA-1500 Elemental Analyzer by measuring the CO2 content formed by combustion at 1100oC and treated by hot 10% HCl, respectively (Heath et al., 1977). TOC content was obtained by measuring and calculating the difference between the total carbon and the carbonate carbon. Intact shell or shell fragment from the cores were used for AMS (Accelerator Mass Spectrometer) radiocarbon dates. The dating was performed by Nuclear and Geoscience Laboratory of New Zealand. 4. CHRONOLOGY Four radiocarbon accelerator ages were obtained by radiocarbon analysis of the micro-shells, collected from the four depths of core MC01 (Table 1). The ages range from 923 yrs B.P. at 6 cm depth to 2249 yrs B.P. at 249 cm depth. No age inversions are observed, implying the lack of reworking during deposition. The age-depth model shows that sediment accumulation rates for MC01 varied from 89.81 cm/kyr to 431.83 cm/kyr, indicating a quite high sedimentation rate prior to about 1900 yrs B.P. (Fig. 4). The high sedimentation rate at the lower half of the core may indicate either an increased sedimentation rate due to increased glacier meltwater input, accompanied by large amounts of IRD (iceberg rafted debris), or an increased vertical flux of organic carbon from enhanced surface production. However, the reduced TOC content in the lower half of the core implies that the high sedimentation rate is related to increased terrigenous sedimentation associated with ice-proximal meltwater plume. Reservoir corrections of 900 years are based upon an age of 900 years for a living mollusk taken by a scuba diver at coastal zone in the study area (Table 1 and Fig. 4). Hence, core bottom age extrap-. Fig. 4. Down-core variations in uncorrected C-14 age and sedimentation rate.

Sedimentology and Geochemistry Over 3.5 m of core material was recovered from a core site at the front of the Marian Cove glacier, which is one of the rapidly retreating tidewater glaciers in King George Island (Fig. 1).

It consists of light olive grey (5Y 5/2), clast-supported sandy mud lithofacies (Fig. 5). It is massive and structureless, but, in some part, is weakly stratified. Internal stratification on a decimeter scale is defined by subtle variations of clast concentration or size. There is little evidence of soft-sediment deformation in this facies or of intraclasts from underlying beds. The upper contact is generally gradational into the overlying laminated sediments. The clasts are predominantly subangular to subrounded crystalline rocks, ranging from 1 to 4 cm in size, but some volcanic clasts are present. They are commonly striated and faceted and randomly oriented. The matrix is composed of poorly sorted (s = 4.0 to 4.8 ø) muddy sand with mean sizes of 3.5 to 5.5 ø (Fig. 6). TOC content is very low (less than 1%), while CaCO3 contents are relatively high (1−2%) with a negative correlation with TOC (Fig. 6). C/N ratios are lowest, ranging from 1 to 10 (Fig. 6). Microfossils are generally rare with minor occurrence of diatoms, and calcareous benthic foraminifera, but sea-ice related diatoms (Fragilariopsis curta and Fragilariopsis cylindrus) are slightly more abundant in the massive diamicton compared with the overlying units (Fig. 7). 5.2. Diatom Assemblages. Fig. 5. X-radiograph of the core MC01, showing (a) lower part (massive diamicton) and (b) upper part (pebbly mud) of the core.. graphs (Fig. 3). Massive diamicton facies dominate the base of the cores. Laminated sedimentary facies are found only at the top of the diamicton. In more detail, the cores obtained from the study area comprise three lithofacies: (i) the basal part of the cores is made up of massive diamicton; (ii) laminated sediments of alternating fine sand to coarse silt and fine silt to clay make up 4% of the cores; (iii) pebbly mud makes up almost 60% of the total core length. the pebbly mud facies is interpreted to be formed predominantly by the release of IRD, combined with suspension settling of fines derived from glaciofluvial sources (Yoon et al., 1997). The origin of the laminated facies is thought to be by sedimentation from meltwater at times when sediment delivery by icebergs is suppressed by a lack of basal debris zone in the modern tidewater glacier that does not produce large icebergs, and calve at slow rates. This process will be discussed in more detail in a separate publication. Thus, only massive diamicton facies will be discussed in this paper. Massive diamicton accounts for the basal part of the core. Diatom abundances are shown in Fig. 7. Diatom assemblages are dominated by Chaetoceros resting spore (RS, 65−90% of the total). The rest of the assemblage includes taxa such as, F. curta, F. cylindrus, and Navicula glaciei. These species have been grouped as sea-ice taxa since all of them live in the sea ice and/or ice-edge environments (Gersonde, 1986). Another interesting component of the diatom assemblage is Fragilariopsis kerguelensis. This species is a slightly warm-water form, which is more abundant in the circumpolar regions and Scotia Sea than in small bays and fjords in the South Shetland Islands and adjoining Bransfield Strait. Since the large numbers of C. resting spore in the sediment may mask the signal of the rest of the assemblage, we calculated the relative abundances of the rest of diatoms excluding the C. resting spore. In general, the number of diatoms per gram of sediment shows a significant difference in the core MC01 (Fig. 7). The upper part of the core ranges from 10000 to 1000 diatoms per gram, while the lower part (massive diamicton) ranges from 2000 to 500 diatoms per gram. The number of C. resting spore reflects the same pattern to that observed in total diatoms, showing a minimum number of diatom valves of less than 2000 per gram in massive diamicton. However, the relative abundance of sea-ice diatom group shows slightly higher values in massive diamicton than in the upper part of the core (Fig. 7). Sea-ice group, such as F. curta and F. cylindrus shows several peaks in abundance within diamicton facies, reaching maximum values at 295 cm, 310 cm, and 355 cm,.

Thalassiosira antarctica, typical for open water form than in bays and fjords, is rare in massive diamicton while it tends to increase in the upper part of the core MC01 (Fig. 7). 6. ORIGIN AND DEPOSITION OF MASSIVE DIAMICTON Clast-supported diamicton dominates only the basal part of the cores (Fig. 3). This is the most difficult sediment to interpret, primarily because it has inherited characteristics of both marine and glacial processes. The diamicton is massive, clast-supported, and composed of an unsorted mixture of clay, silt, sand and gravel, and shows a gradational contact with overlying laminated unit. It has a polymodal grainsize distribution with high gravel content and lacks organic matter (Fig. 6). These characteristics suggest that the diamict facies originated either as a subglacial till (Anderson et al., 1983, 1991) or as ice-proximal glaciomarine deposits at the grounding line. However, the presence of diatom, the variability in its abundance and the textural heterogeneity (Figs. 6 and 7), an indicator of glaciomarine diamicton (Shevenell et al., 1996; Licht et al., 1996), support a glaciomarine origin of the diamicton by variations in marine productivity and rate of sediment delivery from glacial meltwater. In particular, the variations in pebble abundance within the diamicton facies suggest that the diamicton was deposited in a glaciomarine environment because the flux of ice-rafted material to the sea floor almost certainly varies with time. In contrast, sediment deposited subglacially may be homogenized due to mechanical mixing (e.g., Anderson et al., 1984). Absence of graded sediment and/or intervening or intercalating sandy lenses (turbidite) indicates that this ice-proximal glaciomarine diamicton was not reworked by sediment gravity flows (Eyles, 1990). Rather, the clast-supported diamict facies was deposited probably in front of a fast-flowing outlet glacier that did not have a large ice shelf, but calved a significant number of icebergs (Fig. 9). The presence of a large ice shelf would have prevented measurable fluctuations in primary productivity (recorded as variations in very low TOC and microfossil abundance, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7) because of the absence of sunlight, and resulted in production of debrispoor icebergs (due to basal melting beneath the ice shelf) (Drewry and Cooper, 1981; Jenkins and Doake, 1992). Tidewater glaciers and extensive ice walls, grounded below sea level, do not tend to produce large icebergs, and calve at relatively slower rates (Drewry, 1986; Dowdeswell, 1987). The lack of IRD input from tidewater glacier is demonstrated by the tidewater glacier of the modern Marian Cove, which do not produce large amount of iceberg and/ or IRD, as shown in the core top of X-radiograph where only small amounts of IRD is scattered (Fig. 4). Therefore, the massive diamicton in the study area must have been. 7. deposited by ice rafted sedimentation in ice-proximal zone and/or releasing of debris from basal debris zones of fastflowing outlet glacier, with floating terminal ice tongue when the basal debris-rich glacier was likely to advance to the study area. Four dates obtained from intact shells of MC01 demonstrate that the deposition of massive diamicton in front of the floating ice tongue took place between 1450 and 1700 yrs B.P. (reservoir-corrected) (Table 1 and Fig. 4). Previous study of a lake sediment in King George Island have demonstrated that warm and humid conditions with high precipitation prevailed in the study area between 1400 and 1800 yrs B.P., and increased the size of penguin populations, which is closely related with climatic conditions. Glacial advance in warm period has been reported by Domack et al. (1991) in East Antarctica. They explain that glacial advance during the mid-Holocene warm would be possible under a cold polar climate because warming will at first induce an increase in precipitation (snowfall) rather than ablation. If such speculation is correct, the core sites in Marian and Potter coves might have experienced relatively long periods of sea-ice margin and, therefore, of ice-edge bloom during warm and humid period, as evidenced by the increase of ice-related diatom (i.e., F. curta and F. cylindrus) in the diamicton facies (Fig. 7). Cunningham et al. (1996a, 1996b) used F. curta as a proxy to trace the midHolocene warm period in the Ross Sea. They suggest that sea ice melt and water column stratification probably occurred earlier than cold period in the Ross Sea, as a result of earlier spring warmth. They speculate that earlier ice melt allowed the spring bloom to be dominated by F. curta seeded from the melting sea ice, rather than by non sea-ice taxa. Warming between 1450 and 1700 yrs B.P. (during the deposition of diamicton) would have resulted in the oceanographic change in the study areas. Increases in the abundance of warm water form, F. kerguelensis, in the diamicton (Fig. 7) may be related to intrusion of warm Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) into the study area (Kozlova, 1966; Gersonde and Wefer, 1987; Zielinski and Gersonde, 1997). The influence of ACC is not so strong in modern fjords and bays in the South Shetland Islands, as evidenced from the no increase in abundance of ACC form, F. Kerguelensis (as shown in the upper part of the MC01 in Fig. 7). Therefore, during the deposition of the diamicton the Antarctic Circumpolar flows entering the study area would be more influential, bringing in F. kerguelensis in diamicton facies of the core MC01. Thalassiosira antarctica is an open-ocean form which is more abundant in the Weddell and Scotia seas than in bays and fjords in the South Shetland Islands. Absence of T. antarctica in the massive diamicton can be therefore related to the restriction of the intrusion of cold Weddell and Scotia seawater during deposition of the diamicton facies, as known to be warm period (Fig. 7)..

(8) 8. Ho Il Yoon, Kyu-Cheul Yoo, Byong-Kwon Park, Yeadong Kim, Boo-Keun Khim and Cheon-Yun Kang. The absence of both benthic and planktonic foraminifera in diamicton facies (unpublished data) also suggests that meltwater lid was covering the core sites in Marian and Potter coves during much of the warm period. In this setting, CO2 exchange between the ocean and atmosphere could have been restricted. Under these conditions, dissolution of CaCO3 in bottom sediment would have been minimal, as indicated by the higher carbonate contents in the diamicton facies (Fig. 6). 7. ICE SHEET RECONSTRUCTION The available lithofacies and paleontological evidence for. the cores from Marian and Potter coves in the South Shetland Islands suggests that the glaciological regime during deposition of the diamicton around 1450−1700 yrs B.P. was quite different from that of today. Instead of a tidewater glacier, developing only in the fjord head, with a grounding line just below the confluence of Marian and Potter cove glaciers, as seen in satellite imagery (Fig. 8), a floating terminal ice tongue with basal debris zone is envisaged (Fig. 9a). Release of clasts from the basal debris zone of the ice tongue and iceberg rafting are suggested as the processes mainly responsible for the deposition of the massive diamicton facies in the study area. The study area is at present an. Fig. 8. Satellite image of modern Marian Cove, showing the tidewater glacier in the fjord head.. Fig. 9.

(9) The origin of massive diamicton in Marian and Potter coves, King George Island, West Antarctica. area where tidewater glaciers calve at relatively slower rates and are not producing large number of icebergs (Figs. 8 and 9b). During deposition of the massive diamicton, however, the study area was an area where floating ice tongue with basal debris layer was producing icebergs in very large numbers (Fig. 9a). This situation is typical of fast-flowing outlet glaciers, with floating glacier margin, draining the modern Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. Ice shelves, by contrast, tend to produce icebergs, which are less likely to contain included debris (due to basal melting beneath the ice shelf). Tidewater glaciers and extensive ice walls, grounded below sea level, do not tend to produce large icebergs, and calve at relatively slower rates (Drewry, 1986; Dowdeswell, 1987). The presence of diamicton facies described above in the lower part of the Marian and Potter cove cores may, therefore, be an useful indicator of the former presence of fast-flowing outlet glaciers during warm and humid climatic condition.
