Highest mountain of Peitlerkofelgruppe in the Dolomites (Italy). On June 26, 2009, parts of the Dolomites were recognized by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) as a serial World Heritage Site. The Peitlerkofel massif is a UNESCO World Heritage and includes all typical rock formations of the Dolomites. Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (

5 Preface When the high mountains call, then they come: The hikers and mountaineers, pupils, students, scientists, the juniors, the seniors, and the moderate or the extreme ones. All of them come and they come with pleasure. There are no exact numbers, but it might be millions annually who travel into the high mountains of the world. All of us enjoy the beauties of the mountains: We take photographs, walk their valleys, climb over their glaciers, and climb their walls. We think often we know what we see at different landforms. However, can we also describe or explain them? And what actually do we know about their emergence? But what are the things called which we see? What exactly can we say about the various landforms? To us names like Reinhold Messner, Sir Edmund Hillary, Ueli Steck, Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner, or Wanda Rutkiewicz are familiar. But do we know the terms lapies or shore moraine? This book shall give information about the various landforms in the high mountains. It is a textbook which is understandable and illustrated richly, an adviser, as well as a reference book. The book therefore addresses both the interested layman and pupils and teachers or students of earth sciences for introduction to the geomorphological variety of high mountain areas. However, it cannot and will not replace any conventional textbook. The secondary documents are referred to in the bibliography to deepen studies of the topics dealt with. Most given examples are from Europe, Asia, and the North and South Americas as well as from Oceania. Completeness was not striven for. Anyway it would be impossible to discuss comprehensively the enormous variety of landforms in the high mountains in one book. Photos and textual content therefore confine themselves to a subjective choice. Our thanks go to Herbert Funk (Frankfurt am Main, Germany), Heiko Kurz (Mainz, Germany), Dr. Johannes Thomas Weidinger (Gmunden, Austria), and Prof. Dr. Heinz Veit (University of Bern, Switzerland) for leaving photographic materials. The excellent photos of Herbert Funk from Svalbard, Norway, and Greenland can be seen on the Web site arcticimpressions.de. A wealth of photographs and other materials can be found at the U.S. Geological Survey ( that can provide further insights into the world of high mountains geomorphology. With this book we hope to give to a broader public a better understanding of the fascinating form variety in the high mountains and also an appreciation of the essential causal geomorphological relationships in the high mountains region.
