WoGE #459

The memory works in mysterious ways, which helped me solve Felix' WoGE #458 very fast. In fact it took me less than a minute to realise what it had to be, the rest of the time was trying to remember the name of the place so I could find it on the map. :D

These days, the eyes (and webcams) of Norway are on the mountain "Mannen" which seems to be about to fall into the valley below (see http://blogs.agu.org/landslideblog/2014/10/29/mount-mannen-1/ for more info).

So, thinking about landslides, I present WoGE #459:




As usual, post a comment with latitude and longitude and write something about the (geologic/geographic/hydrographic) feature in the picture. If you win, you get to host the next one.

Previous WoGEs are collected by Felix on his blog and a KML file.

The biggest [...] occured on April 21 and reached a felt intensity of VII on the Mercalli intensity scale. On the moment magnitude scale, the earthquake reached a gradation of 6.2. On the mountains around the fjord, the earthquake caused landslides that in turn created waves as high as 6m. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Ays%C3%A9n_Fjord_earthquake)

  2. I am a bit surprised; I expected Laki to be easy and Aysén to be more difficult. :D

  3. Ole: I can explain. When I saw you laki picture, I scanned in great altitude over island and missed the spot (maybe because of a different color). And lately I'm impatient, so I did not go on looking. Aysen was easy as we do have structure and a coastal area.
