Source-page captions
Figure 6.2 gives a section from the map 1:100,000 by Hurni (1981) with all moraines he detected in Simen during field- work in 1974–1977, and Fig. 6.3 is a photograph of the largest moraine found in the westerly catchment of Ras Dejen, below a cirque that steeply descends into the Mesheha Valley.
Figure 6.4 presents an analysis of all paleoglacial moraines observed in Simen by Hurni (1982) and includes the most important characteristics and parameters, such as the paleosnow- line and the lower limit of the paleo-periglacial slope deposits.
Fig. 6.2 Mountain tops in Simen with paleoglaciation features of the last cold period. Features presented are moraines (full red) with ice flow direction (black arrows); periglacial slope deposits (pale red), and snowline (red dotted). East–West distance is about 36.5 km.
