Affaissement d'un versant du mont Big Lookout, baie Bonne.- Sur cette photographie, on voit un versant de montagne qui s'affaisse lentement depuis le recul du glacier qui remplissait jadis le fjord. Le sommet du mont Big Lookout est scindé en deux le long d'une ligne marquée par une falaise de 100 mètres. Les fissures d'extension continuent de s'élargir, ce qui indique que l'affaissement, ou la reptation, se poursuit de nos jours. 2, record 1, French, - versant%20affaiss%C3%A9
