この山について
Mount Sanford (4949m) is a shield volcano in United States, United States. Grade 3/5: strenuous climb with technical sections demanding experience. Its broad shield form reflects effusive volcanic activity over geological time. Routes involve exposed ridge sections and require careful route-finding.
The topographic contour map of Mount Sanford (4949m) shows widely spaced, gently curving contours reflecting broad, low-angle slopes. Contour lines are drawn at 100m intervals, with index contours (thicker lines) every 500m. The hypsometric color scale ranges from green (lower elevations) through yellow and orange to white (highest elevations near the 4,949m summit). Above 1,500m, the estimated snow line at this latitude, contours transition to cooler tones indicating permanent snow and ice.
標高プロフィール
The east–west elevation profile of Mount Sanford (4949m) shows the terrain cross-section through the summit at 4,949m. The color gradient transitions from green (valley floor) to white (summit zone), with the red summit marker indicating the peak. The dashed blue snow line at 1,500m marks the approximate elevation above which permanent snow persists year-round.
Frequently Asked Questions
The contour map uses a hypsometric color scale where green represents lower elevations, yellow and orange indicate mid-range altitudes, and white marks the highest zones near the summit. Thicker contour lines (index contours) are drawn at wider intervals to help you quickly estimate elevation.
The contour map of Mount Sanford (4949m) uses a 100m contour interval. This means each line represents a 100m change in elevation. Closely spaced contours indicate steeper terrain, while widely spaced contours show gentler slopes.
The elevation profile is a cross-section through Mount Sanford (4949m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 4,949m. It reveals the mountain's shape, steepness, and relative height compared to the surrounding terrain. The horizontal axis shows distance in kilometers from the peak.
At Mount Sanford (4949m)'s latitude (62°), the estimated permanent snow line is approximately 1,500m. Since Mount Sanford (4949m) reaches 4,949m, about 3,449m of the mountain extends above the snow line. This is shown as a dashed blue line on the elevation profile.
Mount Sanford (4949m) is a shield volcano, built almost entirely from fluid lava flows. The contour map shows widely spaced lines, reflecting slopes that rarely exceed 5–10 degrees — much gentler than a stratovolcano.
