Chamonix Video Report - July 29th 2011
A Video Report From
The weather in Chamonix, Mont Blanc looks like it's going to clear so hopefully walkers and bikers will be able to get out and enjoy the Mountain bike trails and hiking routes in the area.
The Petit Blacon Nord and Sud have been popular of late as they offer a little shelter from the elements but there are so many other options open to those who want to get out and enjoy the terrain.
With the Cosmo Jazz festival now in full swing the week ahead looks lively.
Eboulis torrent sanières 7 et 8 aout 2013
Plusieurs millions de mètres cube ont glissé des flancs de la montagne pointe fine dans le lit du torrent des sanières à partir du 7 août 2013. Il s'agit d'un phénomène courant mais tout de même impressionnant. Alpes, vallée de l'Ubaye, France.
Avis de tempête - Fleuves en crue
Le long des rives du Zambèze, les populations vulnérables sont déplacées vers des sites où elles sont protégées des inondations, mais où elles n'ont plus accès à leurs fermes et leurs moyens de subsistance. Les rétablir s'avère difficile.

I couldn't get any closer. This is some crazy flooding from opening flood gates. This town just had a huge rock crawl event in this exact same area the week before.

Walking up the glacier en route Sechu to sach 2019 part by solo travler naksh Most of the earth is covered with water, and most of that is salty and in the oceans. In fact, about 97% of Earth's water is ocean water. The remaining 3% is fresh water, and two thirds of that is frozen in glaciers. Glaciers are large masses of ice that can take many forms, from huge sheets to jagged blocks of slow-moving ice and rock. For billions of years, glaciers have carved the earth's surface and fed rivers and oceans with water. Their presence is still felt even millions of years after melting away to create valleys, lakes and even mountains.
How Glaciers Move
Glaciers are formed from the accumulation of ice and snow. But in order for this to become a glacier, it has to move under its own weight. An accumulation of ice isn't considered a glacier until it starts moving. Once it does start moving, though, it acts like a giant plow that scrapes and scours the earth. As glaciers move across the land, they loosen and pick up rocks along the way, dragging them across the earth's surface and creating striations, which are just large scratches that are formed in the direction of glacial movement.
A glacier may move in two ways. Internal flow is when the pressure and gravity on the ice in a glacier cause it to move downhill. This movement is like pushing a deck of cards from one side. As you push the deck of cards, the base of the deck moves very little, because it is in contact with the table, and there is more frictionhere. Conversely, the cards at the top of the deck move faster, because there's less friction. Basal sliding is when an entire glacier moves because its base is slightly melted. Instead of mostly internal movement, the bottom of the glacier slides downhill as well. This makes the glacier able to move much like an ice cube is able to glide across a table if it is pushed.
Even though glaciers are moving, trying to watch this movement would be like trying to watch grass grow. Most move only a few feet or inches each day, though some glaciers have been known to move as fast as 50 meters in a single day; this is about 160 feet, or about the equivalent in length of 16 minivans.
The Two Types of Glaciers
Continental glaciers are also known as ice sheets because they envelop everything in sight with a layer of - you guessed it - ice. These are the kind of massive, all-
Ubaye gorge France riverboarding / hydrospeed
French hydrospeed legend Yvan and FLI's Josh Galt run the Lion's Den rapid in the Ubaye Gorge, France. Huw Miles (Miles Away Ltd.) and Raphael Besson (RIPH) filmed and then ran it successfully as well.
This rapid was considered unrunnable until a few years ago. The top part still is due to a nasty hole backed up by a boulder which shoves the river into an undercut. At higher flows that may be runnable too.

Head up to the slopes
Extreme skiing is defined with bigger lines, bigger mountains, and steeper faces. They say, You fall, you die. Professional skiers Chris Davenport and Stian Hagen sit down with the pioneer of extreme skiing Sylvain Saudan. The athletes share the truth they gain by using big mountains to peer into the depths of themselves. Chris and Stian ski the remote peaks of Alaska getting too close to the red line.
