Slabs, snow-slopes, glaciers, seracs, cornices, crevasses, avalanches, icicles, bergschrund...
The arctic mountain in essence. Here a section inside the southern crater rim.
No wonder the nomadic sami people living on the northern tip of Norway have more than 300 (!) words for snow, describing its
texture, patterns, granulation, brittleness, layers, depth, consistency, formations, firmness, sastrugi, properties, look, form, flow and feel.
Truly, snow is so much more than just... snow.
