The Three sisters of Glencoe




Pistolpete
Five vertical shots stitched together in CS5,but decided to crop out the foreground as it was a bit unappealing.

The Three Sisters form the southern wall of Glencoe, Aonach Dubh, Gearr Aonach and Beinn Fhada. These are really outliers for Bidean Nam Bian (1150m), forever known as the highest hill in Argyll.

You have five vertical shots -you must have cropped a lot to produce a horizontal image. I also think that there is too much haloing along the mountain tops.

They almost look volcanic, like volcanic plugs. Researching.

And I was right. Geologically-speaking, Glen Coe is the remains of an ancient supervolcano that erupted with a force of VEI-8.[citation needed] It is considered to be one of the best examples of Cauldron subsidence. The eruption happened about 420 million years ago during the Silurian period, and the volcano has long since become extinct.[3] The landscape was further shaped by the processes of glaciation during the last ice age, 10,000 years ago.[4]

VEI- 8 (Volcanic Explosivity Index) - mega colossal. Must have been most impressive. This is one step up from Tambora - which has been speculated as causing the mini ice age in the early-mid 1800's of Dickens time.

Thanks for the research rockhounds_5 and for the great picture Pistolpete as I learned something today and saw a cool pic at the same time.
