ORIGINAL TITLE: Formes contemporaines du type congélifluctif sur le Turbacz (Gorce - Carpates)
On the southern slopes of the main ridge of mount Turbacz, at an altitude of approximately 1,200 metres above sea level and on a slope with an inclination of 24°, contemporary congelifluction forms have been observed. The external shape of the studied congelifluction ridges and the distinctive features of their internal structure clearly indicate that these forms resemble small garland-like terraces previously described in Lapland, on Spitsbergen and in the Alps.
