Description: Clastic varves of Lake C2, north coast of Ellesmere Island (Canadian High Arctic). The microscopic photograph of non-glacial clastic varves shows the undulated sediment-water interface in normal (left) and polarized light (right). Pale and coarse-grained laminae are related to snowmelt runoff events during summer, which contrast to the dark fine-grained laminae on top that settled out of suspension during winter under ice cover.
