| Definitionskos:definition | A tributary glacial valley opening at a relatively high level on the steep side of a larger glacial-cut valley occupied, or formerly occupied, by a trunk glacier. The height drop between the floors of the two valleys is due to the greater erosive power of the trunk glacier (Excerpt from Bell et al. 2016, adapted from Bell et al. 1997. In: Dowdeswell et al., 2016). |
