日本の国立公園さんのインスタグラム写真 - (日本の国立公園Instagram)「Icy Sights on Mt. Meakan ❄️ Mt. Meakan, at 1,499 meters, is the tallest peak of the Akan mountain group in eastern Hokkaido's Akan-Mashu National Park. In the Ainu language of Hokkaido's Indigenous people, Mt. Meakan is known as Machineshiri, the female mountain. 🏔️ An active volcano, Mt. Meakan is an immensely enjoyable hike in the green season, and three trails wind their way to the summit. Snow season hikes come with their own delights, such as fascinating natural sculptures of snow and ice. The frosty phenomenon seen in the photo results from stormy weather at high elevations. Strong winds mold the snow and frost clinging to the rocks and other surfaces, scraping it away into unique shapes. It's a sight to see and adds even more interest to the already spectacular scenery. ✨ ⚠️Note that winter climbing requires careful preparation, a wealth of experience, and adequate equipment. Prospective climbers should familiarize themselves with the rules of the mountain before making any attempts. Climbers are encouraged to submit a climbing plan to the Hokkaido police.
