Скачать или смотреть Cornice vs Serac

A cornice is a structure made by wind and snow. Overhanging snow is created on the lee side of a ridge or gully by wind blowing snow over a period of time.

A serac is an ice feature on a glacier that is created by the ice changing speed as it is pulled down slope. Cracks form, creating towers or large chunks of ice that can fall.
