ABSTRACT
In any landscape many times are at work, marking long-term histories of growth and depletion, more recent trajectories of movement and habitation, or new trails or canals made in response to environmental changes, to mention but a few examples. These times are at play simultaneously, and, depending on perspective, one or the other may take centre stage. in an arctic landscape, the ice contributes to the scaling of time, in what seems to be a natural way. glacial times may be constituted in different ways, and a good place to start is to go back to the nineteenth century, when a glacial theory was first proposed.
