Map of the Natural Park of Posets-Maladeta

Tweet

Map made by EOSGIS towards 1999 Maladeta massif. The data used were obtained by manual scanning, using the developed GENDEM software company.

Later was the relief shading using digital and technical manuals. The mapping was edited with Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator.

With more than 70% of its surface with dimensions above the 1,800 m (ranging between 1,500 m of the funds of Valley and 3,404 Aneto m), are of great interest their modeling glacier forms, such as moraines and the Lakes, as well as important existing karstic phenomena. In addition, it offers a great diversity of flora and fauna of the floors bioclimatic of high mountain, with emergence of endemic species and endangered. Its spectacular geomorphological formations, together with the landscape consisting of agricultural and livestock exploitations of the populations of their surroundings, motivated declared a Natural Park in 1994. The extension of the Park reaches the 33.440 ha, with a periphery of 5.290 protection has, and includes the municipalities of San Juan de Plan, Sahún, Benasque, Gistaín, Montanuy. Within its boundaries are three natural monuments of the glaciers Pyrenees, the massif of the Maladeta Montes Malditos, Perdiguero massif and Posets massif or Llardana.

And Posets Maladeta massifs constitute two of the higher mountainous nuclei in the Pyrenees, finding their summits between the two tallest of all of the Pyrenees, the Aneto (3,404 m) and the Posets (3,375 m). Quaternary glaciers were the main erosion agents that shaped the landscape of the nature park. They sculpted on Granites, limestones and Shales, long colossal cirques, U-shaped valleys and deep trays, currently occupied by hundreds of lakes, name that are known in Aragón to these glacial mountain lakes. When these lakes filter due to filling sediments and by the accumulation of plant remains, arise ("mollars" in the area) peatlands, which are mossy and waterlogged land with a mosaic of Islands, rills of muddy and sandy shores. Currently three glacial cores of reduced dimensions are preserved in the massifs of Posets, Perdiguero and Maladeta, declared natural monuments.
