beautifully show the immense fall height of this landslide.\u00a0 Both videos also demonstrate clearly that there is still a huge amount of rockfall activity occurring on the landslide scar, and the first video suggests that a new scree deposit is accumulating on the landslide body.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via
