Lateral Moraine by Ron Schott from the GigaPan Briksdal Glazier - Briksdalsbreen by John Myrstad
Morainal material is plowed ahead or aside by advancing glaciers. Like all ice-contact deposits it is characterized by poor sorting, as evidenced here by the wide range of sediment sizes (clay to boulder sizes).

Crevasses by Ron Schott from the GigaPan Briksdal Glazier - Briksdalsbreen by John Myrstad
... are a type of brittle fracture (akin to a fault) that forms as ice expands as it moves over an obstruction in the underlying bedrock. At greater depths the ice behaves in a ductile manner as a result of higher confining pressure.

Fresh Rockfall by Ron Schott from the GigaPan Distant Cliff by Ron Schott
Note the angularity and light color of these blocks of talus below the cliff. This is evidence of a fairly recent rockfall, possibly even within the last few months.

Paleochannel by Ron Schott from the GigaPan Roadcut 26T (Wide) by Ron Schott
At some point in the recent geologic past a stream channel carved down into the chalk beds here. Since that time the channel was abandoned and the scar filled with alluvium. The soil layer developed on top spans both bedrock and alluvium without any noticeable break.
