Cryogenic landforms in the Sierras de Alvear, Fuegian Andes, subantarctic Argentina
Abstract A preliminary survey of periglacial landforms found in the Monte Alvear region of the Fuegian Andes, subantarctic Argentina has revealed the presence of nivation hollows, subnival ‘boulder’ (clast) pavements, protalus ramparts, debris lobes, patterned ground and cryo‐ejected clasts.
