Annet, Samson and Tean


The isle of Annet, west of St Agnes in the Scilly Archipelago.  It's a low island, washed by storm waves -- so there may or may not be coherent glacial and related sediments there which are worth examining.......



The isle of Samson, where, according to James Scourse, glacigenic sediments have now been discovered on the west side by David Mawer, senior conservation officer of the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust.  In this photo South Hill is in the distance and North Hill is in the foreground.  We also see White Island, off the west coast.



The isle of Tean, with St Helen's beyond.  This irregularly-shaped small island may have been affected -- at least in part -- by Late Devensian glacier ice.  Bottom right, we can see Lowertown on St Martin's.
