Preliminary report on rock glaciers at the foot of Mt. Riiser-Larsen in Enderby Land, East Antarctica
Part of the debris slopes previously defined as alpine moraines at the foot of Mt. Riiser-Larsen were considered to be active rock glaciers in terms of longitudinal profiles, degree of weathering, size of surface boulders and morphological similarities with active rock glaciers in other regions.
