Glacial geomorphology of the tableland east of the Andes between the Coyle and Gallegos river valleys, Patagonia, Argentina
We report the results of geomorphological mapping of the high tablelands of Patagonia east of the Andes and between the Coyle and Gallegos river valleys. The map covers a low-relief area of about 3400 km 2 at a scale of 1:85,000. It contributes to knowledge of a landscape shaped by lobes of the Pata...
