| Summary: | Abstract Observations on both the modern and Pleistocene snow lines were made during a journey through the Peruvian Andes. En route observations were supplemented by an evaluation of air photographs in the Servicio Aerofotográfico Nacional in Lima and a survey of the literature. The large-scale variation of the Pleistocene snow-line depression is discussed with respect to possible palaeoclimatic implications. |
