Drawdown from the interior was localized in fiords, and ice margins stabilized just offshore, forming the submarine moraines described here.
The identification of re-exposed sub-Paleocene etch forms on Disko and the hills of similar size offshore, forming a hilly relief, have implications for identification of a hilly relief south of Disko Bugt, its relation to younger planation surfaces as well as for conclusions of uplift events.

These rupture planes extend northwestwards through the coastal belt on to the offshore to form underwater basins (rifts) and ridges (horsts).
