Jeziora i torfowiska w Dolinie Suchej Wody w Tatrach i ich geneza wytopiskowa

Abstract

Lakes and peat-bogs in the SuchaWoda Valley in the Tatra Mountains and theirs melt genesis.S u m m a r y. Out of the 85 cavings located in the northern part of the Sucha Woda Valley (Polish Tatra Mountains), the majority are probably dead-ice depressions. Their state of preservation (degree of plant overgrowth etc.) can reveal the size of dead-ice blocks and the timing of their melting, whereas the location of these forms helps to estimate the rate of retreat of the Sucha Woda Glacier.
