Gully at JBG 65

This is the gully that cuts into Skull Cliff behind Section 65. There is a small stream at the bottom of the gully. During the brief summer, the stream erodes into the permafrost, exposing the sediments along the walls of the gully.

There are some funny iridescent patches of color on the surface of the water at the bottom of the gully.
