Barrosa cirque, Glacial landform in Huesca Province, Spain
The Barrosa cirque features an amphitheater shape with steep rock walls on three sides, formed through extensive glacial erosion in the Pyrenees mountains.
The formation developed during the Quaternary period, between 1.8 million years ago and present day, through multiple glacial cycles that shaped the landscape.
The cirque draws numerous geologists and researchers who study its geological formations to understand the patterns of glacial movements in the Pyrenees.
Visitors can reach the cirque through marked hiking trails that connect to the main path near Cabane de Barrosa, offering clear views of the geological features.
The cirque contains angular rock blocks scattered around its perimeter, measuring approximately 7,500 meters, with granite domes visible at its base.
