BrigantesLes Brigantes étaient un puissant peuple celte de l’île de Bretagne (actuelle Grande-Bretagne). Il est possible qu'une relation entre les Brigantii de Bregenz dans les Alpes et les Brigantes de la Grande-Bretagne ait existé. Cette hypothèse se trouve renforcée par la répétition de cette situation pour de nombreux peuples brittoniques (les Parisii par exemple). En effet, l'île de Bretagne a été envahie par les Celtes venus du continent. Ceux-ci ont gardé leur nom de tribu ou de peuple d'origine.

Ombilic glaciaireUn ombilic glaciaire est la partie surcreusée d'une vallée glaciaire. Après le retrait du glacier, cette dépression est généralement occupée par un lac de taille variable qui se comble peu à peu par des alluvions fluvio-lacustres jusqu'à former une plaine. Un ombilic glaciaire se forme lorsqu'un glacier de vallée est ralenti dans sa course par un verrou glaciaire ou un brutal changement de direction de la vallée. La glace s'accumule alors en amont du point de ralentissement ce qui lui confère un plus grand pouvoir érosif.
