Fossil remnants of up‐turned debris‐rich bands of glacial ice are recorded from three localities in the Polish Lowlands. In each case the fossil debris bands occur in proximal parts of hills built of glacitectonically disturbed sediments. The characteristics of these remnants and of the associated deposits and structures are described, and they are compared to present‐day examples from Spitsbergen.
