The territorial sovereignty over Alaska, the Arctic islands of the Soviet Union, Svalbard, Greenland and the Canadian Arctic Archipelago poses no problem, but the continental shelf off those territories and islands has yet to be delimited between the five Arctic States: Alaska, the Soviet Union, Norway, Denmark and Canada. Beyond the continental shelf, the mineral resources of the deep sea-bed should normally form part of the common heritage of mankind, but their presence has not yet been determined. The Arctic Ocean, in spite of the permanent presence of ice, is subject to the freedoms of the seas. The straits of the Northeast Passage are internal waters of the Soviet Union, at least since the establishment of straight baselines in 1985 (presumably, under the Territorial Sea Convention to which the USSR is a Party) and, possibly before, by way of historic title. Under the Convention, a right of innocent passage would exist but not if they are historic waters. The waters of the Northwest Passage are internal waters of Canada since their enclosure by straight baselines in 1985, under customary international law, and no right of passage exists. The sovereignty of Arctic States extends to the air space above their territory, internal waters and territorial sea. There is no right of over flight above those areas, outside of the I.C.A.O. Conventions. The Arctic Ocean being a semi-enclosed sea, bordering States should cooperate under the new Law of the Sea Convention in the exploitation of the living resources, the protection of the marine environment and the conduct of scientific research. This cooperation could best be attained by the creation of an Arctic Basin Council composed of all Arctic States and, possibly, the Nordic countries.

Present-day cryoplanation platforms occurring in Ordovician shales on either side of Rimouski are described in the first part of the paper. Cryoplanation closely related to sea-ice action during the longlasting winter is in progress on the higher and middle parts of intertidal platforms, particularly at Pointe à la Cive, Orignal Promontory, Cap du Caribou, Pointe aux Cenelles, and, to a smaller extent, Pointe Mitis. The nature and vertical dip of the shales are favourable factors. Coastal cryoplanation has also been efficient on the Holocene, now uplifted, Mic Mac alias Mitis terrace located behind the present shoreline. It followed previous planation agents which truncated parts of the Appalachian ridges on the banks of the St. Lawrence Estuary, and it is replaced by azonal marine processes at low-tide level. In the places where it has been observed, it is certainly a powerful factor of erosion. Boulder barricades, or boulder ridges, occurring at low-tide level are discussed in the second part of the paper. The site of Sacré-Coeur-de-Rimouski is described in detail and serves as a reference site, while several other sites are also reported. According to observations made during the breakup season, these boulder barricades result from the melting of icerafts carrying rocky blocks that are unable to reach the upper part of the intertidal zone still covered by a residual icefoot. This explanation differs from that suggested for boulder barricades occurring along the Labrador coastline.
