Description :
Folded outwash occurs in 4 distinct clusters in an arcuate arrangement just west of the terminal Llanquihue moraines deposited by the Lago Llanquihue piedmont ice lobe at the last glacial maximum. The AA. report here on the analyses of an unusual feature in this context and present possible interpretations of the results. They conclude that the folded outwash represents a variety of push moraines.
