Description :
This paper presents the geomorphology, stratigraphy, and radiocarbon chronology of extensive moraine belts deposited in the region of the southern Chilean Lake District and Seno Reloncaví, as well as on Isla Grande de Chiloé, by Andean piedmont ice lobes during the last glaciation. Along with the associated drift morphology and stratigraphy, the chronology establishes the duration of the last glacial maximum (LGM) and reveals the structure of the last glacial/interglacial transition.
