Great pictures, Aid! That is a rocky terrain I've never experienced. Questions: "Burned sand"? I'd like to see some pictures of that, if possible, or a detailed verbal description. Any pictures of impact pits/craters before they were disturbed? Also, is this the same fall that was described earlier as mostly in snow-covered mountains? Is it permanent snow at high altitudes, or thaws in Spring? Is there an update for the size of the fall area? Best, Pete
