The Pozzines (from the Corsican word i Pozzi, meaning wells) are acidic peat bogs crossed by winding streams.
They are located at altitudes between 1,700 and 2,300 metres.
They occupy depressions formed by ancient glacial lakes, which were filled in by clay deposits and numerous dead plants.
In Corsica, the deposits of the oldest pozzines are thought to date back around 12,000 years.
