Rock Glacier in Winter

Rock Glacier in Winter

A thick covering of white snow conceals the dangerous footing of a steeply sloping field of sharp, jagged talus which ‘flows’ downhill from a jagged mountain peak in what is known as a rock glacier.

Captured in Kananaskis Country in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada.
