Abstract
Hills eroded by floods of glacial meltwater in Swedish Lapland resemble streamlined erosional features on Mars. The morphology and materials indicate a similar origin for the features on both planets. The Båldakatj area can be considered a terrestrial analog for Martian landforms; this similarity suggest that other features in Lapland, including boulder deltas, may also occur on Mars.Keywords
