Apparent upfreezing of stones in late‐Pleistocene coversand, Bełchatów vicinity, Central Poland

Stones lie within a well‐sorted coversand in central Poland. They are thought to have migrated to their present positions by upfreezing that occurred as permafrost aggraded beneath an accumulating dune‐sand surface. Some of the stones have risen as much as 1 m into the coversand. ‘Chimney‐like’ sedi...
