Description

Explore the geological history of the Iberian Peninsula with Iberia, Land of Glaciers: How The Mountains Were Shaped By Glaciers. This Elsevier publication examines how past glacial movements transformed the current landscape of Iberia. While only small glaciers remain on the highest peaks of the Pyrenees today, they serve as a legacy from the Little Ice Age that ended in the late 19th century. By studying the highest peaks and adjacent valleys, readers can observe evidence of a landscape once defined by the passage of massive glaciers. These ice formations reached hundreds of meters in thickness, creating geological patterns similar to those seen in the Alps. This book provides a detailed look at how these historical ice periods shaped the terrain we see today, making it a valuable resource for those interested in Earth sciences and the natural history of the region.
