    You can imagine being right at the bottom of the valley.

    The amount of secondary, tertiary material it brought down from the lower slopes and way it just flowed all the way down the valley is pretty frightening. Really shows the real dangers of traveling even miles away below these areas.

      we were originally planning to go down into that valley but the temp was waay too warm, warmer than forecasted so avalanche/ rock fall risk was too high. So just decided to have lunch there and we noticed the rockfall increasing in intensity, so decided to get the camera out.

    What the video doesn't show is the 5 oz European Swallow that was carrying a 1 lb coconut from North Africa
    across the Alps to the Kingdom of Mercia becoming too tired to carry it any further and dropping it at the top of
    the snow field causing that whole event to take place.
    If it had been an African Swallow this whole thing might not have happened.

      haha, the NZ Southern Alps are in a state of steady state erosion where the uplift is same as the erosion rate, hence why it is such a narrow range. Major mtn ranges of the world get wider because erosion rate is too slow and the overlying weight of the mtns are too heavy to be further uplifted causing another adjacent range to pop up etc.
