Abstract Two types of dirt cone (sorted and unsorted) are recognised and described from moraine deposits on glaciers in some widely separated regions along the Transantarctic Mountains. It is suggested that dirt cone formation may have been more extensive in the past and that some of the older moraine deposits occurring in Antarctica may have formed by ablation in the manner described here.
