Rock glaciers in the Western and High Tatra Mountains, Western Carpathians
A detailed map of rock glaciers at a scale of 1 : 40 000 is produced for the Western and High Tatra Mts., Western Carpathians, based on remotely sensed mapping. We inventoried a total of 383 rock glaciers, covering a total area of 13.84 km 2 . Most rock glaciers (85 %) are considered relict (without...
