Aoraki / Mount Cook, Southern Alps, NZ
This western face of Aoraki / Mt Cook is composed of metamorphosed sedimentary (metasedimentary) rocks. The mountain (and the whole range) is actively being uplifted whilst it is actively being glacially eroded and tectonically shaken from time to time which causes landslips and avalanches.
There's a little pink tinge in the ice which is derived from a major dust storm in Australia.
