Description
A wintertime photo of a small section of Montana's Quake Lake with remnant dead trees poking up through the snow-covered frozen waters. This lake is in the Madison Canyon River Area, near West Yellowstone, Montana U.S.A. The lake was created after an earthquake measuring 7.5 on the Richter Scale struck on August 17, 1959. Thirty-three people were killed in ensuing landslides and flooding when the Hebgen Dam cracked. Quake Lake is 190 feet deep and 6 miles long. Quake Lake flooded much of the former Madison River canyon, and thousands of dead trees still protrude from the water. (A great fishing area!)
