The Sawtooth Range is a jagged snow-capped mountain range on central Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada. It lies between the Fosheim Peninsula and the Wolf Valley. The Sawtooth Range is a subrange of the Arctic Cordillera which is the only major mountain system in Canada east of the Rocky Mountains.[1]
Geology
Widespread clastic deposits, 80-1800 m long, on the eastern side of the Sawtooth Range are the result of debris flows and slushflows.[2]
