Cântaro Gordo horn (Geosite), Manteigas
This peak, with an altitude of 1875 meters, was a nunatak during the last glaciation, remaining above the surface of glaciers and thus preserving the shape that is observed. This was due to the presence of less fractured zones, in contrast to its surroundings, where the fracture density was higher, leaving this relief in an elevated position due to its greater resistance. In the north face of the "cântaro" there is a blockslope of periglacial origin, formed by cryoclasty processes.
