Moiry Valley update
The Moiry Valley virtual field trip now has additional imagery that allows you to explore the western side of the valley. This was collected in June 2019, shortly after a very snowy week in the Alps. The amount of snow limited what we could do in the field, and our planned traverse of the upper […]
AROLLA VALLEY – time-travel to 2006!

We’re at the GA Conference in Manchester!
