The occurrence of a holocene rock glacier on Mount Kenya: Some observations and comments

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, 1996, vol. 7, issue 4, 381-389

Abstract: The morphology of the Lenana rock glacier is briefly described from Mount Kenya. Biological activity and ground temperature data do not support contemporary rock glacier development at the site. It is suggested that the rock glacier and protalus ramparts were active during the Holocene and are indicative of a recent frozen core and perennial snowbanks above ∼4750 m ASL. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
