Abstract
The small glacier located in the Veleta cirque was the most important of those existing in Sierra Nevada during the Little Ice Age (LIA) and the only one persisting until the mid-20th century. At present, only patches of glacial ice and permafrost remain under the debris cover. The singular geomorphological, environmental and scientific interest of this cirque make it unique within the landscapes of the high lands of Sierra Nevada National Park, and justify the need to preserve it.
