Oblique Air Photo of Lituya Bay, Alaska

This oblique air photo shows in the background high mountains covered with snow. In the foreground there is a lake with a small island in the middle. The lake is connected to a larger body of water located at the bottom of the photograph. Around the lake, a trim line separates a dark coloured area from a light coloured area, indicating the maximum height at which trees were destroyed by the tsunami waves. A rock fall scar is also indicated in the background.
