Geoheritage of Postglacial Areas in Northern Poland—Prospects for Geotourism
Abstract This study aims to identify potential geosites and show existing geosites in a young glacial landscape in northern Poland through a qualitative assessment of the local geoheritage. Three areas of diversified morphology and geology located within the extent of the last Scandinavian Ice Sheet...
