Summary[edit]

Description
English: Varves at White Nose These regular bands of eroded limestone at the foot of White Nose are similar to 'varves' in silt in lakebeds, where annual change of climate leads to soft and hard deposits of silt which erode at different rates, giving rise to regular horizontal 'shelves'. The average separation between the layers in the picture is about 6 inches. Perhaps a geologist can decide whether these layers are annual or cover a longer period. To the right are the alternating cliffs and bottoms East of White Nose.
