    Scene notes:

    Cirrus clouds float undisturbed over aretḗ (French for this terrain feature which has no English counterpart) mountain peaks (center). The southern facing cliffs (right) are largely free of snow, while others still retain a great deal of it. Cornices shed fresh snow in high wind (middle peaks). The sky comprises a third of the frame, with the sun visible late clip.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 16 frames.
