Gelologic question ...

Is that 'dark line" crossing the glacier a
bergschrund, or is it just a mere shadow from passing clouds ??

Outstanding features, nonetheless.

Ciao Larry,
the line surely isn't a bergschrund. It could be a shadow created by a cloudy passage, but probably it's the edge of a runway for summer skiing...certainly less romantic!

You underestimate yourself -- there's nothing more romantic as a glacier in motion !

True, Larry, a glacier is always different and ever-changing, moving on a glacier is an adventure that has always fascinated me and as soon as I can return there .... careful of crevasses!

Re: Gelologic question ...

Right, I'm always careful when I venture into the mountains. My objective is NOT to end up in the hospital, under a Doctor's microscope.
