Braided rivers and moraines

Complex interbedding of sand and gravel of glaciofluvial origin, and glaciolacustrine silts are evident in this 8-10 m-high section through the Late Glacial Maximum moraine at the south end of Lake Pukaki. The strong deformation in the lower half of the section is the result of either ice-push or ice over-riding.
