Voted 10/10 | This ilustrates well what can lie beneath a thin vaneer of talus. Is this a traditional glacier transitioning to a rock glacier?

Hasn't voted | I think it is still a traditional glacier (though not much moving) that consists mainly of ice, but it is almost fully covered with stones.
But I know that there are also rock glaciers (german term: "Blockgletscher") in the Hohe Tauern, that consist mainly of frozen stones. | | Posted Aug 27, 2004 1:46 am |
