“…This altitude agrees with paleo-ELA reconstructions in the Cantabrian Mountains (Santos-González et al 2013a;Serrano et al 2013;Rodríguez-Rodríguez et al 2015), where great differences occur depending on regional temperature and precipitation variations. In the In the north-face of the highest areas of the Sierra de los Grajos, at the foot of the subvertical walls, small moraines indicated a last glacial stage, with the ELA situated at ≈1760 m (Tab.…”

“…), and the presence of numerous blocks of sandstone positioned between the limestone ridges that surround the polje to the N (Fig. 3C) also indicate a peak ice thickness of 60 to 70 m. These thicknesses are relatively modest, particularly when compared with other nearby Cantabrian valleys (Jalut et al 2010;Santos-González et al 2013a;Serrano et al 2013;Rodríguez-Rodríguez et al 2015), but they are sufficient to demonstrate the existence of the paleo-glacial dynamics in the area and their influence on the morphology.…”

This area contains glacial landforms that have not interested geomorphologists due to their low altitude (Peña Castillo is about 1857 m a.s.l.), the absence of glacial cirques and the scarcity of large moraines. However, the prevalence of groundwater flow and chemical dissolution has favoured the preservation of glacial landforms. Lateral and frontal moraines show three main glacial stages and other minor glacier stabilization phases, with the paleo-ELA oscillating between 1650 and 1760 m. Moraines are combined with depressions and sinks resulting from subglacial karstic drainage. This convergence of forms and processes is an exception in the Cantabrian Mountains, where postglacial erosion has usually eroded the frontal moraines and the proglacial sediments. In the case of the Sierra de los Grajos, despite the underground drainage and preservation of many glacial deposits on karstic landforms, an outwash-plain was formed. These proglacial sediments and others from non-karstified areas filled the depressions of the preglacial terrain located at their edges. The main glaciokarstic landforms have been mapped and a sedimentological analysis of the outwash plain was made in order to reconstruct the glacial dynamics of this area. Key words: glaciokarst landforms, glacial geomorphology, karst geomorphology, geomorphological mapping, Cantabrian Mountains.

Zaradi nizke nadmorske višine (Peña Castillo je le 1857 m nad morjem) ter odsotnosti velikih moren in krnic to območje geomorfologov do sedaj ni posebej zanimalo. Prav kraški procesi in z njimi povezano podzemno odtekanje so tu omogočili ohranitev ledeniških oblik. Bočne in čelne morene kažejo na tri glavne faze poledenitev in več manjših faz stabilizacije ledenikov z ravnovesno mejo (ELA) med 1650 in 1760 m.n.m. Morene so pogosto vezane na kraške globeli. Glaciokraške pojave najdemo le na tem območju Kantabrijskega gorovja, kjer je sicer poledeniška erozija odstranila čelne morene in proglacialne sedimente. Kljub podzemnemu odtoku in ohranitvi številnih ledeniških sedimentov na kraškem reliefu se je na Sierra de los Grajos oblikoval predle...

“…The comparison between landslide and climatic data series has pointed From a geological point of view, the bedrock in the study area consists of a strongly folded and fractured Permian and Paleozoic basement [27,28] covered in the centre and north-eastern areas by a discordant Tertiary cover [29]. The elevation of the Cantabrian Range during the Alpine Orogeny [30] and the climatic variations during the Quaternary have contributed to shape the bedrock through the operation of fluvial incision [31], karst processes [32] and glacial activity [33].…”

“…Entre los trabajos más recientes, se pueden destacar, entre otros, algunos análisis sobre circos (Ruiz-Fernández et al, 2009;Gómez-Villar et al, 2015), sobre depósitos glaciares (Santos-González et al, 2013b), la altitud de la línea de equilibro glaciar (Serrano Cañadas y González Trueba, 2004;Santos-González et al, 2013a) o sobre la cronología glaciar (García-Ruiz et al, 2010;Jalut et al, 2010;Frochoso et al, 2013;Jiménez-Sánchez et al, 2013;Moreno et al, 2010;Serrano et al, 2013;Rodríguez-Rodríguez et al, 2015;Ruiz-Fernández et al, 2016). A pesar de esos esfuerzos, lo cierto es que aún quedan muchos valles que apenas han sido analizados en detalle y en otros muchos no se conocen con precisión los límites que alcanzó la glaciación.…”
