Snags in Winter, Earthquake Lake, Montana

Snags rise above the frozen surface of Earthquake Lake in the Gallatin National Forest in Montana. The lake, located west of Yellowstone, was formed in 1959 after a magnitude 7.3 earthquake triggered an 80-million ton landslide, damming the Madison River. The snags here are trees that perished when their roots were flooded.
