Figure 6
Geomorphology of the study area and former positions of the Perito Moreno glacier front. (A) Geomorphological map of the study area, showing the location of the subaqueous moraine bodies identified from the geophysical data analysis. The external limits of the frontal positions of the Perito Moreno glacier derived from historical photographs, satellite-derived optical images and aerial photos, have also been included, so as the position of the Herminita moraines (see legend for further details). The base map in this Figure has been taken from GoogleEarth, and was subsequently edited with CorelDraw software. (B) The western shoreline of the Canal de Los Témpanos where the slope break indicated by the red hatch represents the top part of the Herminita lateral moraine. Photograph taken by one of the authors (J. Lozano).
