Description :
This paper describes and accounts for the formation of a ridge of unconsolidated sediment located adjacent to the foot of a talus slope in a recently glaciated valley, in southern Iceland. Specific processes associated with the development of this landform are identified through morphological, sedimentological and lithological analyses. Implications for the interpretation of palaeo-landforms are demonstrated.
