This study intends to evaluate influences of glacial fluctuations on slope development in South-east Iceland on “long” time (Last Glacial Maximum) and on “short” time (Little Ice Age). At the scale of LGM (about 10 000 BP), erosion of rockwall seems to be mainly controlled by climatic and morphostru...
