[QUOTE="Mark44, post: 6842446, member: 147785"] This fits with "cool geological images" IMO. This picture was taken about 4 years ago on a backpack trip in the SE part of Olympic National Park. It shows seabed layers upended by about 70 degrees. The current geology thinking holds that the Olympics were formed when an island arc, Siletzia, was too large to comfortably slide into the trench that defined the boundary between the ocean floor plate and the North American plate. There are many places in the Olympics with rock layers contorted as seen in this picture. In some places, the layers got upended past the vertical, and then partially bent back down, making a U shape. [ATTACH type="full"]320334[/ATTACH] The lake in this basin is named Lake of the Angels.
