Is gravitational spreading a precursor for the Stífluhólar landslide (Skagafjörður, Northern Iceland)?
International audience In Iceland, the Late Weichselian deglaciation led to paraglacial topographic readjustments in the form of extensivedeep-seated gravitational slope deformation (DSGSD) and large rockslope failures (landslides and rock-avalanches).Here we provide age estimates for the Stí"...

International audience In Iceland, the Late Weichselian deglaciation led to paraglacial topographic readjustments in the form of extensivedeep-seated gravitational slope deformation (DSGSD) and large rockslope failures (landslides and rock-avalanches).Here we provide age estimates for the Stí" uhólar landslide (Tröllaskagi Peninsula, Northern Central Iceland),which indicate that this occurred between the end of the Late Weichselian deglaciation (15-13 ka cal. yr.
