| Summary: | The paper defines and presents the forms of glacial relief formed, most
likely, during the last Pleistocene glacial maximum (LGM). A graphic and
textual presentation of almost all glacial forms is given on the entire
territory of the Šara Mountains, on both sides of their main ridge, from
Ljuboten in the NE to the source tributaries of the Radika River in the SW.
Based on the height position and spatial development of glacial forms, the
height of the snow line (ELA) was determined, glacier types were determined
and defined, which is shown on two overview maps representing Pleistocene
glacial morphology and reconstructed Pleistocene glaciers referring to the
last Pleistocene glacial (MIS-2). Since these are the youngest glacial
morphological traces on the Šara Mountains, they are the best preserved
today. |
