[ES] Se estudia la forma y el tamaño de los circos glaciares en dos sectores del Macizo Asturiano: el Macizo Occidental de los Picos de Europa y las sierras del Suroccidente de Asturias. El primero está constituido fundamentalmente por calizas y un relieve muy escarpado, mientras las segundas se han desarrollado sobre cuarcitas y pizarras paleozoicas, dando lugar a un relieve menos contrastado. De los análisis morfométricos realizados se deduce que los factores geoambientales (altitud, exposición, litología) apenas tienen importancia a la hora de explicar la variabilidad de forma y tamaño de los circos glaciares en el Macizo Occidental de los Picos de Europa, donde parece tener mayor relevancia el dispositivo estructural y la compartimentación del relieve producida por la karstificación. En cambio, en las sierras del Suroccidente de Asturias los circos glaciares aumentan significativamente su superficie, longitud y anchura a medida que lo hace la altitud, mientras el desnivel lo hace siguiendo una progresión más lenta.
[EN] Shape and size of glacial cirques are studied in two sectors of the Asturian Massif (the Western Massif of Picos de Europa and the sierras of Southwest Asturias). The former is basically composed of limestones, with a craggy relief, whereas the latter ones are composed of quartzites and shales, determining a less contrasted relief. The morphometric analyses carried out allow us to conclude that the geo-environmental factors (altitude, aspect, lithology) have a scarce influence on the shape and size variability of glacial cirques in the Western Massif of the Picos de Europa, due to the great influence of the structural pattern and the karstic development of the relief. On the opposite, glacial cirques increase significantly their size, length and width when altitude also grows in the sierras of Southwest Asturias.
