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.

Totschunda Fault
Near the southeast extent of the surface rupture of the Totschunda fault thrust faulting pushed the frozen sand and gravel over the snow surface.

Denali Fault
At pass west of Delta River. Here there was roughly 5 m of offset. Note the push up in the background. There is permafrost at the bottom of the cracks.

Denali Fault: Black Rapids Glacier
View eastward along Black Rapids Glacier. The Denali fault follows the trace of the glacier. These very large rockslides went a mile across the glacier on the right side. Investigations of the headwall of the middle landslide indicate a volume at least as large as that which fell, has dropped a meter or two and is almost ready to fall.
