| Further up the slope, the going gets tougher as the scree run is encountered. |
|
| I did some useful snow cartography of slopes and took measurements of scree slopes. |
|
| The view back down the valley was also becoming grander as we rose high above the dark scree slopes and meandering river. |
|
| Measurements were taken over 200 second intervals on vertical faces which had had as much loose scree and weathered material removed as possible. |
|
| They nest in colonies in scree slopes along ice-free Antarctic and sub-Antarctic coasts, where they lay a single egg in a natural cavity. |
|
| The roof gives one the sensation of sitting in a dry riverbed or mountain scree slope, particularly because it lacks containing barriers. |
|
| This leads to the production of extensive areas of broken rock and large scree slopes. |
|
| Melting ice gave way to continual rocks falling down scree slopes and into glacial streams and underground ice caves. |
|
| This was followed by a level stretch of grassy scree which leads to the crux, a steep shallow chimney, well marked by crampon scratches. |
|
| The stench of sulfur filled the air as I dragged myself across the scree and hunkered behind a dark boulder. |
|
| The original watercourse was blocked by the scree slope we had just climbed over, and now the water disappeared into a scary narrow fissure. |
|
| As the sound mutates it becomes lost in a deep storm of white noise and becomes gravel falling down an endless scree slope. |
|
| The course is ten miles long with a five mile climb to the summit and a very fast descent over scree and rocks. |
|
| The scree consisted of loose blocks of rock of all sizes, held together by frozen soil of smaller particles. |
|
| It involved a scramble over a scree pile, then a bit of free-climbing up a fissure in the granite. |
|
| It's a steep climb to the gap over loose scree and boulder slopes but the climbing eases off once you enter the narrow confines of The Window. |
|
| Video footage helps the controller navigate the robot and negotiate tough volcanic terrain from solidified lava flows to loose scree and rocks. |
|
| Above us scree slopes hung like frozen waterfalls, vast boulders strewn among them where they had tumbled. |
|
| A mile away across the valley the far cliffs stood in white limestone buttresses bedded on red scree slopes, glowing in early sun. |
|
| Since the mid-1980s, he is interested in research on microclimatically extreme habitats of scree slopes. |
|
|
|
| In the morning we scrambled up through snow and bouldery scree and bagged an 8,500-foot peak. |
|
| These spaces of dispersion are marked with bourns which disappear amid the fields of scree as stones. |
|
| A big drop followed, down over rough rock and scree to the Bealach an Fhuarian from where a great greyish-white buttress reared alarmingly. |
|
| They bounced off another outcrop and spun like tops down the scree below. |
|
| Rather than retreat the way I've come, I decide to continue east along a ridge to another Munro, eventually glissading down a scree gully to the valley bottom. |
|
| If the boulders and scree contain a lot of ice, these masses are referred to as rock glaciers which flow slowly downhill like thick honey. |
|
| A few hundred yards, and we're on the first technical section of the route, a steep double-track with solid ground for your left tires but loose scree under your right. |
|
| On the island, oil was trapped in areas of rocky scree in amongst colonies of seals and sea lions. This was the main priority of response teams. |
|
| Within an hour the gentle slope has careened skyward, and with each step loose bits of scree tumble down on those unfortunate enough to be bringing up the rear. |
|
| My knees were knocking just a little by the time I got down and I would recommend anyone who didn't like loose rock and scree to go back down the way they came. |
|
| At its top end, the trench opened out into a shallow circular pit that had been built up with a parapet of scree stone and mud from the valley bottom. |
|
| Leaving Alex to study for his biology degree, we walked out into the swirling mists and up the steep slopes of volcanic scree towards the snowline. |
|
| Villages are often perched on top of the blank scree hills, on a single architecture. |
|
| The cross-section of the flat-bottomed valley shows a morainic scree at the foot of each slope. |
|
| Last autumn found me on a grueling research trip in the eastern Sierra, hauling heavy video equipment cross-country over loose scree and high passes. |
|
| To get from the police post to the crater you descend the declivitous wall of the old volcano, with its layers of hardened lava at the top and scree at the bottom. |
|
| The caussenard farmers used to put cows milk cheese in natural cavities in limestone scree exposed to the North and subjected to damp fresh air. |
|
| On its east and west flanks the fell falls away steeply with rocky slopes and scree to the valleys. |
|
| Hammerstones have also been found in the scree and other lithic debitage from the industry such as blades and flakes. |
|
| The influence of volcanic fallout over a part of the countryside is strong in that it includes basalt and lava flows, hardened ash, scree and black pebbles, all of which blend with other types of soil. |
|
|
|
| Landslides, scree slopes, and permafrost features such as polygons and pingos are not created as a result of fluvial processes, nor are they affected by them. |
|
| Where fractured, the crystalline rocks are unstable and due to weathering have created a wide variety of rock-slide scars and slumps, active scree and snow avalanche paths. |
|
| One of the visible topographical manifestations of a very slow form of such activity is a scree slope. |
|
| This expedition may involve extreme temperature variations, travel on scree and boulders, as well as very difficult terrain, challenging obstacle and river crossings, side hilling, and bushwhacking. |
|
| Tilted-eyed huskies bay the rising gibbous, candles flicker nervously behind frosted window pains and wooden sledges jounce over the snow-covered scree tracks. |
|
| The final length of the ridgeline stands as a rocky comb of shale against the sky, dropping down on either side to wide scree slopes and rocky bluffs and nothing. |
|
| Continue through scree up to a stone cross. |
|
| Two other types of soil favour this type of production: on the one hand, fairly deep, black or grey stony soil on the plateaus, and on the other hand, scree on carbonate-clayey slopes on the flanks of fairly open valleys. |
|
| A scree path leads along the rocks to the climbing routes. |
|
| We analyse the terrain we're going to search, we identify the scree and the dead ground which you cannot see and which needs to be checked. |
|
| The scree plot was inconclusive, and it appeared that there were three possible models that would fit the data, a unifactorial model, a two-factor and a three-factor model. |
|
| The path is regularly maintained but running water, uneven rocks and loose scree make it hazardous and slippery in places. |
|
| They are mainly composed of granite that has weathered into more rounded hills with many long scree slopes on their flanks. |
|
| It is the mountain equivalent of the closely related common blackbird, and breeds in gullies, rocky areas or scree slopes. |
|
| At the summit this is overlain by scree and to the south are areas where the underlying Loweswater Formation surfaces. |
|
| It has smooth, easy slopes to the north and west, whilst displaying a complex system of rocky spurs and scree slopes to the south and east. |
|
| Grasmoor is also home to the most extensive scree slopes in the North Western Fells. |
|
| Starting at the shores of Crummock Water in the west, the same is achieved by a single slope of scree in less than a quarter of the distance. |
|
| The southern face is formed by Bowfell Links, an impressive wall of crag scarred by nine vertical gullies and with corresponding tongues of scree at its foot. |
|
| A brown bear has been spotted last week running on the steep scree just below Bulgaria's highest peak Mussala in the Rila mountains, some 2,900 m above sea level. |
|
|
|
| The flowers appear weeks ahead of the grassy leaves, and bulbs should be planted in autumn in a sunny, well-drained spot, ideally a rockery or scree bed. |
|
| However, the surface is not compatible with the new incline and resembles a Lake District scree field and requires the agility of an ardent mountain climber or a dog. |
|
| The rock is an epidotised greenstone quarried or perhaps just collected from the scree slopes in the Langdale Valley on Harrison Stickle and Pike of Stickle. |
|
| Another narrow path leads from Threlkeld Knotts, slanting up through the crags and scree of Red Screes to emerge on the west shoulder of Clough Head. |
|
| I think both of our hearts must have gone into overdrive when we heard the metallic scree of a door being rolled open and the men's voices that accompanied it. |
|
| On the south and west facing slopes of Cross Fell the rock faces have been broken up by frost action to give a scree slope made up of large boulders. |
|
| These are Kern Knotts, Raven Crag and Great Napes, all footed by great tongues of scree. |
|
| Because of the snow at the pass, the actual trail was transformed into a confusion of random crisscrossings with relentless slippery scree. |
|
| Of all of the options, I have found the Scree plot and Scatterplot 3D to be the most useful. |
|
| Scree slopes fall away below to the headwaters of the River Liza, beginning their long journey down Ennerdale. |
|
| The path up from the Hause is a rough zigzag up worsening scree. |
|
| Beyond the ridge rises again to High Crag, a steep climb on scree. |
