Rock outcrips
Rock outcrops of the Firkanten sandstone formation on Platåfjellet in Longyeardalen. Longyeardalen is located in tertiary sedimentary bedrock. These rock outcrops intersect the slopes into natural snow avalanche paths. Some of the rock noses have back cracks along joints and might pose a natural hazard to infrastructure beneath. The rock glacier like feature on the farside of the slope is an artificial mining hill.
