The lithalsas that occur in Hudsonie, northern Québec, Canada, are modern-day analogues to the features that formed the shallow depressions ('viviers') that occur today on the Hautes Fagnes, Belgium. Observations made in the two regions are complementary. They demonstrate that these periglacial mounds form first by vertical upheaving and later by lateral enlargment. The main observations in favour of this thesis are : 1) the regular morphology, either cicular or oval, of both actual lithalsas and traces of previous lithalsas, cannot be explained by simple vertical heave ; 2) the lateral extension of lithalsas, inferred from relict forms in the Hautes Fagnes, is clearly evident ; 3) the ramparts cannot be explained in terms of simple erosio...
