Fernpass rock avalanche

WI_at003.jpg

Panoramic view from Wannig in N direction. The basin of Ehrwald and the Zugspitze (2962 m) can be seen in the right background. The scarp of the Fernpass rock avalanche appears in the left part of the photo, the deposit with Blindsee in the centre. This long-runout landslide displaced approx. 1 cubic kilometre of rock 4100 years ago.
