Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the latest results of research on genesis of glacial relief and dynamics of the younger Saalian ice sheet in the marginal zone in poorly recognized area of the interfluve of the Krzna and Bug rivers in eastern Poland. The presented model is significantly different from those interpretations of the relief genesis in this area, presenting ice-margin stabilization stage and then areal recession. In the light of detailed morphological, geological and structural research, the younger Saalian ice sheet was characterized by differentiated dynamics of ice lobes, both during transgression and recession. A comparison with the latest results of research on area between Piotrków Trybunalski, Radomsko and Przedbórz, the notion on presence of regional lobes in the marginal zone of the younger Saalian ice sheet and their differentiated (conditioned by morphology and lithology of pre-Saalian substrate) dynamics is also actual in central Poland.
