Southern limit of relict rock glaciers, Central Apennines, Italy
Relict rock glaciers have been identified in the Maiella Mountain massif, Central Apennines (42° N). They are located at elevations of 2500–2300 m a.s.l. and probably mark the uppermost and southernmost limit of Pleistocene discontinuous alpine permafrost in the Apennine peninsula. Des restes d'...

| Summary: | Relict rock glaciers have been identified in the Maiella Mountain massif, Central Apennines (42° N). They are located at elevations of 2500–2300 m a.s.l. and probably mark the uppermost and southernmost limit of Pleistocene discontinuous alpine permafrost in the Apennine peninsula. Des restes d'anciens glaciers rocheux ont été identifiés dans le massif montagneux de Maiella, au centre de Appennins (42° N). Ils sont localisés à des altitudes comprises entre 2500 et 2300 m et marquent probablement la limite inférieure et méridionale du pergélisol pléistocène discontinu dans la péninsule italienne. |
