Pleistocene Glaciation in the Atacama Desert, Northern Chile
Morainic deposits associated with boulder spreads and outwash sands in the High Andes of the Atacama Desert are described and provide evidence of a Pleistocene glaciation. Widespread, locally folded gravel sheets of a similar age may provide a datum for correlating movements resulting in the uplift...
