The slopes in the centre of the photo are characterized by various backscarp features, indicating a deep-seated gravitational slope deformation in the prevailing metamorphic rock. Background from left to right: Gärstenhörner (3189 m), the glacierized Galenstock (3586 m), the Rhonegletscher with its proglacial lake, and the road ascending to the Furkapass.
