You are way too early - all the photos are still missing! Thanks!

No, they are two (or more) pictures aligned in a table.

Always sad to hear about melting glaciers.

Thanks Nader! The Dolomite glaciers don't have much chances anyway - the rock (limestone like) sponges up all water. It is strange to see lakes on the plateau up there.

I like this mountain. I hope the glacier survives another decade.

Ci ma inDellible and unFradulent vote? It's four stars.



Coincidentally, this picture looks like the west side of the thing I did last Sunday (Kololo Peaks, which will be put up soon) and this picture looks like the peak I climbed on Monday. The Kololo area and the Fradusta area both look like former and current glacier stomping grounds. Can glaciers really stomp? Hmmm?

Looking at all those glacier basins I think glaciers carve, rather than stomp. But who knows - mybe you can carve and stomp at the same time. Glacier multitasking ...

Another excellent page in all respects. Yes, it was clearly a hazy day, but you managed to capture some nice images. Thanks for posting!

(I can see the resemblance to the picture of Stones Peak you alluded to some time ago. That glacier was a lot bigger thirty years ago.)



My usual proofreading report:



handfull -> handful

located central -> centrally located (or, simply, "at the center")

Yes, I have seen pictures back from the eighties - back then it really looked like a glacier. Thanks!

Thanks Jorgen! Hadn't you been there last year. I think I recall somebody freezing up there in short pants....

Yes, you are quite right. Photo id 99705 (how do I make a link to a photo?) on the Pale di San Martino page. It was cold air and one of the good clear days with wonderful sight all the way to Marmolada. I'm sure I'll be back in Pale again sometime.

A smaller version of the Altiplano-but looks plenty big. Shows up very well on google-earth with the Marmolada some 13 miles north. Probably visible on a clearer day. Google-earth suggests that the highest point is in the South east corner.

Thanks Mark! The summit marker is in the south-west. Marmolada 13 miles? That seems a bit too much. It appeared much closer. And yes, it's plainly visible. If you look at the far right of the first pano you can see some peak of the Marmolada Group (probably Ciama Uomo). I took a shot of the Marmolada south face - but that was barely distinguishable in the mist :-(

Ahh now I have looked at google earth I can assure you that it's wrong. What they call Fradusta is Cima di Ball or Cima Val di Roda.
