Propuesta de lugares de interés geológico de los canchales de la Serra de Tramuntana y Serres de Llevant (Mallorca, Islas Baleares)

Researchers identify five geologically significant sites in the Serra de Tramuntana and Serres de Llevant (Mallorca) as Lugares de Interés Geológico (LIG), highlighting their unique periglacial features. These canchales, formed by sedimentological and geomorfolical processes, serve as representative examples of insular periglaciarism. The study also links these geological formations to Mallorca's historical ice trade, exemplified by the 'cases de neu' structures located at the peaks of these morphologies. The proposal underscores their scientific and educational value, offering insights into both natural processes and cultural heritage.
