It begins at the foot of Pico Almanzor (2,592 m) in Hoya Ant\u00f3n, much further south than the rest of the circuses and ends below the Prado de Roncesvalles at 1,450 m, after a journey of 8 km.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large XcVN5d tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traducci\u00f3n\"><span lang=\"en\">The feeding of this glacier was carried out in three different cirques: the Recuenco del Almanzor, the Hoya del Gargant\u00f3n and the Hoya de Cabeza Nevada, located one after the other from south to north and with ENE, NNE and NE orientations, respectively.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large XcVN5d tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traducci\u00f3n\"><span lang=\"en\">The recuenco del Almanzor includes the commonly called Circo de Gredos and the Hoya Ant\u00f3n which is the true bottom of the circus. It is located at an altitude of 2,000 m and surrounded by the highest elevations in the mountains: Casquerazo, Cuchillar de la Navajas, Pe\u00f1a del Esbirladero, Cuchillar de los Ballesteros, Ameal de Pablo,\u2026 all of them exceed 2,400 m. In the Circo de Gredos is located the Laguna Grande de Gredos, whose existence is explained by the glacial overexcavation. In the Circus you can see a very clear and well developed shoulder pad that allows you to delimit the maximum thickness reached by the ice, which would exceed 350 m.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large XcVN5d tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traducci\u00f3n\"><span lang=\"en\">The accumulation zone had to end in a cascade of seracs produced when the ice crossed the threshold of separation between the circus and the tongue. Then there would be the contribution of abundant ice from the Gargant\u00f3n, the second accumulation basin of this glacier, located between the Ameal de Pablo and the Cuchillar del G\u00fctre; their contributions were important since it is estimated that the thickness of the ice was 200 to 250 m.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large XcVN5d tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traducci\u00f3n\"><span lang=\"en\">View of the mouth of the thaw on the Laguna Grande del circo.
