Hanging valleys

Hanging valleys

Hanging valleys. These are tributary valleys above the main valley that descend steeply into the main valley.

They generally form when glacier ice deeply erodes a main or trunk valley, leaving tributary valleys literally hanging far above the main valley floor. Tributary valleys can be seen leading to Mobuku and Bujuku on Mt Rwenzori
