a mountaineer skis near the edge of a snowy deep crevasse
A mountaineer on skis skirts around a deep crevasse in Denali National Park (Alaska). Travel in the glacier accumulation zone, where year-round snow cover may conceal crevasses can be treacherous. Mountaineers often travel in rope teams to mitigate the risk of falling into a hidden crevasse.
