Forces of Nature

Is there a Doctor in the house, specifically a geologist? I've spent most of the day trying to find out the cause of the magnificent rock formations that surround Winthrop Glacier on the west side of Burroughs 3. Glacier torn, volcanic activity, both? I may never know, but the sight was amazing. For a freak for rocks like me this place is heaven. Black rocks, out of place stalagmite like protrusions, stacks of loose stone, I was beside myself and as a backdrop one of the largest glaciers in America, Winthrop.

I've been in awe of this mountain and it's many facets for some time now, I've seen green meadows lush with flowers, a seemingly endless amount of waterfalls, trees that are more than 1,000 years old, snow twice as high as my truck, hail in summer, sunsets over miles of undulating terrain, and now a deep chasm carved by ice and time, perhaps helped along by an explosion or two.

blow this one up and immerse yourself, it's wonderful in here... :-)
