Periglacial Features From Morfee Mountain, North-Central British Columbia
Six periglacial features (sorted polygons, sorted steps, sorted nets, sorted stripes, sorted circles, felsenmeer and a possible altiplanation terrace) are described from a new location in Central British Columbia (locally known as Morfee Mountain, 55 deg. 26 sec. N, 123 deg. 02 sec. W) between 1300-...
