The Quaternary geology of the Nordkalott area in northern Fennoscandia is depicted in five maps. The themes of the maps are: Quaternary deposits, glacial geomorphology and paleohydrography, ice‐flow indicators, Quaternary stratigraphy and ice‐flow directions. The maps are briefly presented and an outline of the glacial history of the Nordkalott area is given.
