Been up on the mountain today -- and checked more carefully. The whitish area shown on my Google pic of the other day is NOT a moraine -- it's an area of whitish broken dolerite blocks -- coinciding with an igneous outcrop. But the area to the east of that -- shown as a rough brownish texture on the picture is really moraine. We geomorphologists seek always to refine our ideas.....
