A total 53 glacial cirques were recognized in the Rodna Mountains by Mîndrescu and Evans (2014) and Mîndrescu (2016); they represent the largest examples in the Romanian Carpathians, with areas of up to 3.78 km2: maximal length and width are 1988 and 2124 m, respectively (Mîndrescu and Evans, 2014; Mîndrescu, 2016). The average altitude of cirque floors is 1749 m asl. The dominant northeast cirque aspect corresponds to the eastward tendency in snow drifting. Two recessional stages were identified in the north-exposed valleys in the form of latero-frontal moraines (Sawicki, 1911; Sîrcu, 1978). The age of the older-stage moraines is unknown, whereas the highest located, small moraines (1800–1950 m asl) were dated with cosmogenic 10Be between 13 and 11 ka, indicating the last glacial advance occurred during the Younger Dryas (Gheorghiu, 2012).
