Isel
There are Quaternary sediments in the Isel Valley, mostly till from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) between 23,000 and 19,000 years ago. At that time the valley was filled with an ice stream with its surface about 2,300 metres (7,500 ft) above sea level. The valley from elevations of about 1,700 metres (5,600 ft) down to the valley floor near the Daberbach and Gossenbach tributaries at 720 metres (2,360 ft) often holds coarse-grained, poorly sorted and unconsolidated gravel. These deposits seem to be kame terraces formed by streams of meltwater as the ice stream collapsed after the LGM. By 18,000 years ago the lower Isel valley at Ainet was probably free of ice. A series of terminal moraines were left as the local glaciers retreated during the Late Glacial Interstadial.
