A deglaciation chronology of the last ice sheet in Lofoten - Vesterålen - Ofoten based on regional shore displacement is presented. An isobase system and a shore zone diagram have been constructed. The heights of raised shore features refer to present mean tide level, and have been adjusted according to the variation in height of recent forms. Owing to this variation in particular, and deformation of features due to shore displacement, a shore zone diagram has been substituted for the traditional shore line diagram. Seven stages in the ice recession have been traced. The outermost probably occurred at a time close to the maximum of the last ice sheet. During its retreat, the ice became increasingly directed by topography. The situation of deposits in the landscape was determined by this. The regional shore displacement seems to indicate that the highest mountains in the area were nunataks during the last glacial maximum.
