View from Abra Salkantay (4630 m) in SE direction across the Salkantay Glacier bounded by pronounced lateral moraine ridges. The field of blocks in the foreground goes back to a landslide on 23 February 2020, when a huge chunk of rock and ice broke off from the S face of Nevado Salkantay. The same landslide also impacted Laguna Salkantaycocha, resulting in a catastrophic glacial lake outburst flood.
