Gazost<\/h5>\n

Gazost is a tiny village located high in the Hautes-Pyrenees region of France (43.031N, 0.007E if you want to find it on Google Earth).\u00a0 On Friday afternoon a reasonably large and quite mobile landslide removed 150 m of the only access road to the village, leaving the 20 or so inhabitants stranded.\u00a0 Reports suggest<\/a> that the landslide occurred after a period of heavy snow in February and then rainfall more recently. \u00a0 France-3<\/a> has a nice gallery of images and a video of the site.\u00a0 This image provides a nice overview of the landslide:<\/p>\n

This is quite an interesting landslide in that the debris appears to have been quite mobile.\u00a0 France-3 also has this image of the lower part of the track of the landslide:<\/p>\n

The upper part of the landslide appears to be rotational, with a reasonably large displaced and back-tilted block:<\/p>\n

Whilst the lower part seems to have been a mobile flow, judging by the materials at the toe:<\/p>\n
