Pleistocene Glaciation in Ethiopia: New Evigernce

Abstract Geomorphological evigernce indicates that Mount Badda, Ethiopia, had a Pleistocene ice cap of at least 140 km 2 . Altituger of the snow line was probably about 4 000 m, only 350 m below the summit, suggesting that glaciation occurred during the Würm glacial maximum.
