| Ice in June? | [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ] |
Some of the water runnels still had big chunks of ice in them on our visit on June 20. I bet this place is really beautiful with snow and ice in winter.

Voted 10/10 | initial formation of a tectonic cave!
There's some places where the rocks fail to
heat up (as much) during the day, and the
snow lingers on them. Nice shot, Jeremy!!! | | Posted Jun 27, 2008 12:10 pm |

Hasn't voted | Huh! Who knew? The rock, as you can tell, has quite a bit of air in it and is not very dense, so it is well-insulated from the other rocks that do heat up in the sun. Pretty interesting! Thanks for the info! I learned something today. :) | | Posted Jun 27, 2008 12:43 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Yeah! A lot of folks think Summitpost exists
solely for entertainment or beautiful nature
shots, but the story of the Earth is TOLD by
looking at its ROCKS. I learned something, too!
Actually, this could be the primary stages in
the formation of a secondary or talus cave.
An example is the Bear Gulch Cave in central California, where water has seeped into
volcanic rocks. Outstanding photo!!
