The origin of morainic deposits and the characteristics of glacial erosion in the Western Sør-Rondane, Antarctica
Two types ofmorainic deposits can be found in western S0r-Rondane mountains: the super- glacial morainic ridge the material of which comes from slope evolution, and the hillocky moraine whose origin is related to shear planes in the glacier and therefore subglacial. A hypothesis of the formation of...
