| Summary: | The Stara Galičica Mountain was highly reshaped by glacial processes during the Pleis-tocene. Based on the detailed morphographical mapping of glacial features, the extent of glaciation was determined as being far larger than described in previous references. The in-ner part of the massif was covered with an ice-cap from where outlet glaciers were fowing out. On the basis of morphometrical analysis of glacial features, the altitude of the glacier equilibrium line during the Last Glacial Maximum was established at 1840 m a.s.l. Gorski masiv Stare Galičice je bil v pleistocenu izrazito preoblikovan z ledeniškim delova-njem. Na podlagi detajlnega morfografskega kartiranja ledeniških oblik je bil določen ob-seg poledenitve, ki je bil veliko večji kot ga navaja predhodna literatura. Osrednji del gor-skega masiva je prekrival ledeni pokrov, od katerega so navzdol odtekali odtočni ledeniki. Na podlagi morfometričnih analiz sledov poledenitve je bila ugotovljena ravnovesna meja viška zadnje poledenitve na nadmorski višini 1840 m. |
