Since the end of the 19th century, attempts have been made to interpret the geomorphological testimonies of the Plistocene glaciations in the Soajo Mountains. The present study seeks to revisit the glacial theme and its morphologies, and to present the results of field reconnaissance and interpretation of new data using GIS, which confirm the presence of the moraines noted in the bibliography. However, it was possible to refine its expression in terms of shape and extension, highlighting the most straightforward case of Lombo de Gorbelas. Yet, new moraine ridges were identified in the Alto Vez section: at the base of the Maranho peak, in the valley immediately south of Pedrada peak, and laterally in the Ramiscal valley. The process of ice retreat is notorious, as the effect of several glaciers' phases reworking the mountain landscape of the Soajo Mountain.
