Online_Linkage: Description: Abstract: An examination of the Ellice Hills map sheet (NTS 56 P) surficial geology was undertaken in conjunction with reconnaissance drift prospecting and Quaternary-related research. These endeavours complement the work completed in previous years southwest of Committee Bay, Nunavut (NTS 56 K, 56 J north, and 56-O south), and serve as the final mapping effort for the Committee Bay Project sensu stricto. Unique to the Committee Bay Project, the Ellice Hills map sheet area exhibits approximately 50 km of Committee Bay's west-central coastline (Fig. 1), the southern two-thirds of which are confined by topographic relief reaching ~280 m asl. Those areas in close proximity to the present-day coastline are characterized by tidal flats, post-glacial near shore sediments and partially-filled valleys containing horizontally to sub-horizontally stratified marine silt and clay. The remaining areas of this map exhibit till sheets and veneers in the highlands, extensive glaciofluvial deposits are concentrated in topographic lows (Giangioppi et al., 2003). Purpose: Supplemental_Information: Data set is in English. Magnetic declination stated in degrees and minutes. Annual change stated in minutes. Magnetic declination at center of map: 20°20'W, changing 18.4'E annually. Proximity of the North Magnetic Pole causes the compass to be erratic in this area.
