Cirques in the southern Canadian Cordillera are most numerous at lowest elevations and best developed on the north and northeastern flanks of mountains. Cirques at the heads of major valleys are generally at higher elevation, and are larger in area than cirques along the sides of valleys. The elevation frequency distribution is different for various types of cirque. Cirques which are well below mean cirque elevation are large and are almost always oriented to the north and northeast. Cirques well above mean cirque elevation are small and independent of orientation. A model is proposed in which cirque morphometry varies in a vertical plane in relation to the position of the snowline, and in a horizontal plane in relation to orientation
