Puig del Pam (altitude 2470 metres), Capcir, Pyrénées-Orientales, France.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: View to the east from the Estany de l'Esparver to Puig del Pam.

Geology - the mountain is mostly underlain by Cambrian schists and other metasediments ("Group de Jujols").
Although an ice sheet up to 500 metres thick covered much of the Capcir and Cerdagne mountain ranges during the most recent glacial phase of the Quaternary period (the Würm/Devensian phase), the summit plateau and the upper slopes of Puig del Pam were not glaciated. There were glaciers on all sides of the mountain, notably in the Lladura and Vallsera valleys. But the relatively undramatic pre-Quaternary topography of the Puig del Pam has largely survived. This is in contrast to the heavily glaciated topography of mountains only a couple of kilometres to the west - for example, around Puig Peric and Puig de la Cometa d'Espagne. See:

Français : Vue vers l'est depuis l'estany de l'Esparver jusqu'au puig del Pam.

Géologie - la montagne repose principalement sur des schistes et d'autres métasédiments cambriens ("Groupe de Jujols").

Bien qu'une couche de glace de 500 mètres d'épaisseur ait recouvert une grande partie des chaînes de montagnes du Capcir et de la Cerdagne pendant la phase glaciaire la plus récente du Quaternaire (Würm), le plateau sommital et les pentes supérieures du puig del Pam n'ont pas été englacés. Il y avait des glaciers de tous les côtés de la montagne, notamment dans les vallées de Lladura et de Vallsera. Mais la topographie pré-quaternaire du puig del Pam, relativement peu spectaculaire, a largement survécu. Cela contraste avec la topographie fortement glaciaire des montagnes situées à seulement quelques kilomètres à l'ouest, par exemple autour du puig Peric et du puig de la Cometa d'Espagne.
