These pictures were taken in August 2006 – they may well be used in connection with the
powerpoint “Classical Glacial Features – The Matterhorn Glaciers. The slides have been
left without special labels but key words have been included. Teachers can develop this
resource further. Points to note: Picture 7 – the lateral moraine is covering the glacier
which cannot be seen beneath it – the insert shows how material accumulates at the base –
8 – the insert shows how meltwater streams rework glacial deposits, 9 – the recessional
moraine holds back a small meltwater lake.
