Abstract

According to available data, the development of glacial processes on Somosierra Mountain would have been minor and there was only some cirque glaciers in very specific locations. Both for its extension and its geographical location and altitude, the conditions present in Somosierra for installation of glaciers in principle should be considered less suitable than the other sectors of the Central System Iberian where also they are located these processes along the Pleistocene. However, such available data are very sparse and outdated, so its value is limited. In this work presents the results of a series of recent studies that modify previous interpretations about the dimension of some paleo-glaciers and for the first time provides a detailed cartography and a morphometric analysis of glacial morphology of this sector of the Iberian Central System.
