Karst landscape that was glaciated during the cold periods of the Pleistocene
Example of a Glaciokarst are the Dachstein Mountains which are a typical Alpine glaciokarst in the Eastern Alps.Glaciokarst features at Reovačka greda, Mount Orjen
Glaciokarst is a geological term that refers to a specific type of karst landscape that been influenced significantly by past glacial activity. [1]
Karst landscapes consist of distinctive surface and subsurface landforms. These landforms are a result from dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone, gypsum or dolomite by water. [2] In the case of glaciokarst, the karst landscape has been shaped by the action of glaciers due to glacial erosion, deposition or other processes that directly impact the soluble rocks in the area. [3]This unique blend of processes results in a landscape that not only documents the deep history of glaciation but also exemplifies the resilience and adaptability of the Earth's geological systems. Examples of glaciokarst landscapes are found in the Western Alps or the Eastern Alps such has Tennengebirge, Dachstein Mountains and even the Altai Mountains. [4]
