Figure 2

Photograph of part of palaeo-landslide rampart on eastern (Yunnan) side of river (far left, indicated by left arrow). The landslide mass originates from the western (Sichuan) side of the river, behind the observation point for the photograph. In 1880 a landslide from the Yunnan side blocked the Jinsha for three days [6]. The location of the 1880 slide is indicated by the right arrow. The scar and rampart of the more recent slide event is more obvious than the evidence for the palaeo-landslide.
