Deformation evidences on the glacier sediments from the northernmost el bolsón valley, northpatagonian andes

On the northeast face of Cerro Negro, in the northern extreme of the El Bolsón valley in the Patagonian Cordillera of Río Negro, a road cut left an outcrop of around 400-meters length of glacigenic deposits. In thislocation, some deformational features were observed, whose description and analysis a...
