Since the altitude of Mount Haguro is not so high, it is easy to reach the crest. Yet, climbing up even just a little, there were 5~6 meter of snow there. As I ascended the mountainside, I realized it was much broader than it seemed from a distance.
We arrived at the crest. The snow kept falling and stopping. It was beautiful when it accreted on the cedar trees.(6:58 a.m.) / I could see mountains in a haze far away.(8:45 a.m.) / We espied brooks and the other place while declining the mountainside.I wondered if the small stream, which became narrow because of snow cover would become wider than it was now.(11:14 a.m.) / The weather got worse and the winds blew strongly. We finished today by wondering around many spots to find out any location
On we hiked towards the cloud cover, passing by crystal clear ponds and fields of snow, left over from the winter before. As we gained elevation the temperature dropped and a wind came up out of the south, forcing us to stop after a few minutes to put on our extra jackets. We did our best to stick to the center of the ridge from that point onwards. If it hadn’t been as wide, we would have had to turn back for fear of being blown off the edge. The worsening conditions made continuing difficult, but we did so nevertheless.
The Dangers of Mount Everest and How to Be Safe When Encountering the Dangers By: Prisha Patel
In far Northern California, about forty miles south of the Oregon-California border, resides the second highest mountain in the Cascade Range and the fifth highest mountain in California. The Cascades are part of the “Ring of Fire,” which is a ring of volcanoes and earthquake sites, around the borders of the Pacific Ocean. Mount Shasta can be seen for several hundred miles and has struck viewers with its remarkable beauty since it was first seen. Mount Shasta towers at 14,162 feet, remains snow-capped throughout the year and is often shrouded in oddly shaped lenticular clouds, or fierce storms that hide it from view. It is awe-inspiring in its geography and geology,
The storm had passed. Norval Gilmer careened the air cab to skim along the craggy mountain range past the Terra borough’s greenhouses in the south. Since he studied geology at Gnaritus University, he enthusiastically drew Surina’s attention to the unusual topography in the picturesque hinterland on the way to Algonquin Beach. Through the sunroof of the air cab, she glimpsed the congregation of the three suns, Spes’ rings, Fiducia, and Clementia in the endless turquoise sky. Suddenly, as they moved further south, the jaw-dropping view of the rainbow mountain materialized with its dazzling stripes of gold, black, green, orange, red, blue, and purple. Moreover, a soft alpenglow shrouded the snowy peaks.
Mount Kilauea, also known as the angry goddess Pele, is an active shield volcano located in the Hawai’ian Islands. Today she is still roaring day and night; flowing lava onto the island and into the vast sea. Mount Kilauea is located on the Pacific Plate boundary which is a convergent plate boundary. A convergent plate boundary is when one plate boundary moves under another. This can cause volcanoes and earthquakes and this was the boundary that rose Mount Kilauea from the Earth. The current stage of Mount Kilauea is still at the eruption stage and still currently erupts lava into the sea. It is also said that the volcano is still on aviation color code: orange.

Did you know that everyone has something that– most of the time– is holding them back or making them not reach their full potential? Everyone has problems because nobody is perfect-their problems are personalized to them. Worrying too much about, basically, everything is one of my many Mount Everest. One time I was extremely worried that I would forget some of my belongings at a friends house, so I had made a checklist and made my friend go over it three times with me– just to make sure I had everything in my bag. Of course, that was when I was younger and once I had I got home, that day, I was worried that they would never want to have a sleepover with me again. After I had finished unpacking and I realize that I couldn't find my glasses anywhere
With the impact of tourism increasing progressively since the 90’s when a natural iconic monument such as Everest is threatened to be changed and altered in a negative way, there is bound to be someone stepping in demanding protection and policy for protection. Luckily, Everest and the surrounding mountains are in a buffer zone, labeling it a national park with the intention of protecting its culture, diversity, and natural resources. Established July 19th, 1976, Sagarmatha National Park would give the Everest region the protection and management it needed to fend of careless travelers and opportunist from destroying such a space of natural beauty and phenomena. This kind of marker designates monies and resources that can go into development
This reflection is about Archibald Lampman’s poem called SNOW. Archibald Lampman was born on November 17, 1861 in Morpeth, Canada, and he passed away on February 10, 1899 in Ottawa, Canada (Encyclopedia Britannica). The event in the poem takes place in the late 1800’s in a rural area of canada, during the winter time. In the poem Archibald Lampman does an outstanding job of using the imagery of nature, and in particular snow to make us feel as if we are experiencing these sensations with him.. He describes the color of snow, the sound as snow hits the ground, and the feeling of being surrounded by snow.
Madison and Ava were today's leaders. We had a five mile hike to go, trekking through enormous boulders all off trail. There were beautiful lakers along the way. At Hortense lake i met eye to eye with this volcanic crater mountain that i had seen the day before. It was amazing to see it so close because yesterday i remember hiking and looking
A symbol for pride and joy, Mount Fuji reigns over the land at 3776 meters or 12388 feet as the highest volcano in Japan. Mount Fuji’s formation from over 100 thousand years ago started at the birth of Mount Komi-take and Ashitaka-yama. Two different volcanos that would be overtaken by the new and young Mount Fuji that formed less than 10 thousand years ago. The reign of terror from the new Mount Fuji is not over yet as it is still an active stratovolcano with as recent of an eruption as 1707 whose activities today is still being closely monitored by Japanese scientists. While mighty and powerful, the volcano’s cultural history is surrounded by legends of ghosts or monsters and people who worship the volcano, but the beautiful aspect is artist
My report is over Mount Bromo. “Mt. Bromo volcano in East Java is the active cone inside the giant Tengger caldera, one of Indonesia's most scenic locations destination in East Java, famous for its magnificent sunrise views and the panorama over the caldera with Semeru volcano in the background” (Volcano Discovery). The first known and confirmed eruption of Mt. Bromo was within 50 years of 1590 AD. The second confirmed eruption was September 1804. The third known and confirmed eruption of my volcano was April 5, 1815. The most recent time it erupted was on November 12, 2015. The second most recent time it erupted was November 26, 2010. Finally, the third most recent eruption was on June 8, 2004.
One thing was clear after looking up past expeditions of Mount Olympus, and that was that it is a great Mountain to climb. One climber even called Mount Olympus the “Mountain of the God’s indeed” (Grotter, 2015 ). Although he didn’t write very much about the hike, he took many pictures along the way to tell his story. It looks as though Mount Olympus is a truly mesmerizing climb, no matter who you ask. It appears to be a very highly regarded mountain and seems to have sights that could interest and be new to any climber, old or young. It also looks as though the sights never stop getting better, and grow in beauty no matter how many pictures the blog or website has to offer and the person who posted the pictures has nothing but good things to say.
As mentioned in the introduction, mount Fuji is located in the “Fossa Magna” which is a tectonic zone traversing the central part of the main island (Honshu) of Japan from the Japan Sea Coast to the Pacific in a NNW-SSE direction. The south Fossa Magna region results in the collision of the Philippine Sea (PHS) plate with the Eurasian (EUR) plate in the north and with the North American (NAM) plate in the northeast. It is complicated by the subduction of the Pacific (PAC) plate in the east (Nakamichi, 2007) which creates even more activity for the triple junction below
On the island of Luzon which is located in the Philippines, tens of thousands lived on the slopes of Mount Pinatubo, a Composite volcano that was dormant for almost 500 years. That was until 1991 when it had one of the most destructive eruptions imaginable. The felsic volcano lies on the boundary of the eurasian plate and philippines plate, which is a subduction zone. The eruption was so powerful that a caldera was created, as well as being seen as the most destructive eruption of the 20th century. Avalanches of lava sped down the sides of the volcano, leaving the previously deep valleys with 660 feet thick of fresh remains. Clouds of ash climbed as high as 22 miles in the air, as well as it being blown in all directions near ground due to
