The HiRISE camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has captured avalanches in action. As seasonal ice vaporized in the spring, these 1,640-foot-tall (500-meter-tall) cliffs at Mars' north pole began to crumble. Such cliffs reveal the deep time scales on the planet, exposing the many layers of ice and dust that have settled during different eras. Like the rings of a tree, each layer has a story to tell scientists about how the environment was changing.

The lake is in-between Mount Colden to the left and Avalanche Mountain to the right. Way down at the center of the pic is Calamity Mountain.
What appears to be an avalanche on a cold and windy day. Photo taken in the mountains about 15 miles from Idaho Springs, Colorado. Photo is color on an almost colorless day.
The hills were steep and the mountain had plenty of avalanche protection fencing - just look for the white posts up high.
Iceland also was home to quite a large number of electric cars even though they are not too sure of how long the battery will last in cold conditions. There also seemed to be quite a few charging points even in the small villages like this - Siglufjörður.
Just a few more Iceland photos, then I'll move on to the Sheltalnd Islands leg of my trip.
Looks a bit like a waterfall, but it suddenly appeared out of nowhere and it's not waterfall-season, so it's got to be an avalanche
Hoyt Peak (10,506 ft, 3,202 m), seen from the summit of Avalanche Peak (10,568 ft, 3,221 m). The summit ridge on Hoyt defines the boundary between Yellowstone National Park (on the right) and the North Absaroka Wilderness on the Shoshone National Forest.
One of my favorites, because they're some of the first flowers to bloom in the spring, even before all the snow is gone. Found this one in the vicinity of Mt. Adams, where NF 2329 crosses Adams Creek.
We stayed on the eastern side of the park, and unfortunately the Going-to-the-Sun Road was still closed at the time. Not to be deterred, we decided to make the drive around the outside of the park over to the western side. Once there, we made the hike up to Avalanche Lake. It's a popular trail, and the lake was a little crowded, but the scenery more than made up for it. The gorgeous lake is fed by the 3 waterfalls on the left side of the frame.
Thanks for looking!

A sunny blue sky quickly turned into one filled with grey clouds; weather at Glacier changes in minutes. Nevertheless, this clear water lake and the scenery around looked unreal.
We started early but a couple other parties passed us on the way up. I guess that is okay since they appeared young enough to be our grandchildren. The hike to Avalanche Peak is only a 5 miles round trip with 2,150 elevation gain up to 10,568 feet. Since I struggled with altitude adjustment problems for the first few days of our visit, I was very happy to be hiking this trail without issues even if younger people flew past us. There is one young man seated on the left side of the peak and a young couple in the process of ascending. All three passed us on the trail. While I enjoyed our time alone on the trail going up, since this is grizzly bear habitat I didn't mind it when we met more noisy people on the descent.

Copper Basin is no stranger to Avalanches.
This one blocked the trail for about a week.

An old photo of clouds falling from the hilltop overlooking Llangorse Lake in the Brecon Beacons. Not sure if I've uploaded this before but just find it so unusual. Taken with transparency on an old film camera.
I tried to do my best Thankful! impression here, but the constant mist blaring at me from this waterfall, the rain and drizzle, and the fact that I'm working with limited hardware which prohibits me from shooting from a distance all made for a pretty smudgy shot. I normally wouldn't upload such a technically flawed shot but the scenery is enchanting enough to share. This is Avalanche Falls which crowns the very lush Flume Gorge in Franconia Notch, New Hampshire.
A little fall at Avalanche Canyon in Glacier National Park , Montana. My husband got stung by a bee in this area where we were both perched on a ledge. I saw the bee go in his boot and as he yelled in pain , he leaned forward to swat at the bee. I was so scared he would fall in with the weight of my pack on his back. I almost lost my new cam and tripod trying to make sure he didn't lose his balance. I am so glad nothing happened. Wish I got to spend more time here but I am thankful for all the things I did get to see.

The thought did cross my mind for a moment. I guess if the avalanche had been powerful enough to pass through the trees between the rock face and ourselves then there wouldn't have been a point.
As the afternoon progressed we heard and then saw many more avalanches as we made our way down to Grindelwald from The Lauterburn.
