Denali Fault: Landslides
View southward toward Mt. McGinnis and two large landslides on the northeastern side. These slides had roughly 40 million cubic meters of material and travelled 10 km down glacier. This is the cover photo of the May 16th, 2003, Science.

Denali Fault: Creek Offset
Bone Creek, 5.5 meter offset measured here. The fault trace runs along the sharp bank edge at the right of the photo, from the bottom center toward the upper right.

Denali Fault: Chistochina Glacier
West fork of Chistochina Glacier. Denali fault trace here is parallel to the moraine, indicating that the structure of the glacier ice is influencing the surface trace of the fault.

Denali Fault: Canwell/Chistochina Glaciers
View west over pass between Canwell and Chistochina Glaciers. Two fault traces here may indicate the glacier ice is influencing the fault trace.

Denali Fault: Gillette Pass
View north of Denali fault trace at Gillette Pass. this view shows that the surface rupture reoccupies the previous fault scarp. Also the right-lateral offset of these stream gullies has developed since deglaciation in the last 10,000 years or so.
