Fig. 6.5 Paleo-periglacial deposits on a northerly-facing slope in the Upper Jinbar Valley, 3,500–4,000 m asl. The deposits are up to 15 m thick and were eroded in the Early Holocene, before soil formation built up about 70 cm of Andosol A- horizon over the entire landscape (H. Hurni, September 1974)
Fig. 6.6 Andosol soil profile as prevalent on all mountains of the Ethiopian Highlands between about 3,200 m asl and about 4,000 m asl, here near Gich Camp at 3,600 m asl in Simen. Note the black A-horizon overlaying a compacted B-horizon, which represents paleo-periglacial slope deposits, with the Early Holocene erosion surface in between. (H. Hurni, August 1974)
