ORIGINAL TITLE: Aspects du modelé périglaciaire en Scandinavie du Nord
The article presents observations of various aspects of the periglacial landscape, collected over the course of a 3,000-kilometer journey conducted over one and a half months in Scandinavia, north of the Arctic Circle. The sedimentological and geomorphological observations are characterized by significant variability in both quantity and quality of data, and not all of them contribute valuable or novel insights. Consequently, the present study is limited to the interpretation of palsas, stone pavements, selected sediments exhibiting characteristics of grèzes, and debris flow. Other periglacial landforms are mentioned only briefly.
