Abstract
Los datos disponibles sobre la morfología glaciar de Somosierra lo describen como un glaciarismo de menor incidencia con el desarrollo de algunos glaciares de circo muy localizados. Tanto por sus dimensiones, como por su localización geográfica y altitud, las condiciones presentes en Somosierra para la instalación de los glaciares, en principio deben considerarse menos adecuadas que en los otros sectores del Sistema Central Ibérico donde se localizaron estos procesos a lo largo del Pleistoceno. Sin embargo, esos datos son muy escasos y poco actualizados, por lo cual su valor es limitado. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de una serie de estudios recientes que modifican las interpretaciones precedentes sobre la dimensión de algunos paleoglaciares y aporta la primera cartografía y análisis morfométrico de la morfología glaciar de este sector del Sistema Central Ibérico.
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 However, such available data are very sparse and outdated, so its value is limited.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.
