Sand washed ashore by wave action was then blown upslope by northerly prevailing winds until it came to rest atop a glacial moraine.
The ridge is overlain by deposited glacial materials in the form of terminal moraines and other detritus.
In alpine glaciers, ground moraines are often found between the two lateral moraines.
Moraines containing gravel, sand and clay were draped upon the landscape and silt was left on the extinct lake bottoms.
The bay is fringed by cliffs rising about 30 m above the sea and consisting for the most part of moraine left behind by receding glaciers of the last glaciation.
Collections were made on the western lateral moraines.
Collections were made from the crest of the outermost (oldest colonised) moraine.
An upper and lower moraine are apparent, with the upper moraine, closer to the edge of plateau, containing a diversity of angular boulders.
