Cover Story: The Corral del Veleta cirque (3150 m), Sierra Nevada, houses relict glacial ice and permafrost in a process of degradation. Located in the Southwestern Mediterranean, it is where the southernmost glacial witnesses of the Little Ice Age in Europe are found, originating from the glacier that developed at the head of the Guarnón valley. Their evolution has been monitored over the period of 2001–2019 using geomatic and geophysical techniques applied to the morphogenic dynamic of a rock glacier. The results obtained reveal a progressive shrinkage in underlying frozen bodies and significant changes in the modeling of the rock glacier. All of this is associated with climatic variability in the Sierra Nevada high mountains since the end of the 1980s, particularly in the snowfall and thermal regimes. View this paper
