Bathymetry Perspective Views

Sunday August 09, 1998

Perspective image looking west into Carnelian Bay just north of Dollar Point. Colored area is land, gray scale is lake floor, black areas are yet to be surveyed. Vertical exaggeration is x4. The floor of the lake in this area is at about 1450 m and the tops of the bluffs are at about 1760 m elevation. A prominent debris flow can be seen on the floor of the lake. The debris flow is ~1500-m long and 1000-m wide. The main debris mass is about 5-m thick, but the individual blocks are as much as 25-m high. The debris flow appears to represent a failure of the bluff directly west of the flow. The scar left behind is clearly seen in the middle of the view.
