This photo was taken one week after a chunk of rock of approx. 1 million cubic metres had detached from the S peak of Fluchthorn (right centre of the photo), reducing the summit elevation from 3399 m to 3380 m. The rock avalanche impacted a damp area with some small lakes (hidden behind the moraine ridge at the bottom of the scene), resulting in a splash of debris and water reaching the Furtschöl valley. A small debris flow developed downstream, but the event caused no significant damage.
