Description :
The objective of this study is the search for an altitudinal zonation of geomorphological phenomena in a small, alpine, periglacial area. Because the Abisko region shows a large altitudinal range, a variety of geomorphological phenomena and a minor human influence, an area of 700 km2 was considered to form a suitable fieldwork area.
