The simplification implied, that glacial troughs generally start at trough-ends, is not borne out in mountain ranges (such as Norway and Scotland) where many glacial troughs are through-valleys, where the glacial trough draining away from the water-shed is connected to the glacial trough draining in the opposite direction, with little or no high ground separating them.
