Frost and the brook's water have both degraded the heavily fragmented granite and basalt. Flume Brook began to flow across the valley again after the Ice Age. It stripped soil, weathered rock from the area, and partially filled the valley with glacial debris. During the Ice Age, glaciers covered the valley, although the ice sheet did not significantly alter the landscape. The basalt dikes eroded quicker than the underlying Conway granite, creating the gorge's current valley. The pressure was alleviated when the top rock was worn away, and horizontal fractures formed, allowing water to enter the rock strata. The earth's surface was progressively reduced by erosion, exposing the dikes. If this material had ever reached the surface, it would have turned into lava flows. Basalt is a fine-grained rock as a result of its rapid cooling. Against the comparatively chilly granite, the basalt crystallized fast. The basalt emerged from deep under the ground as a flowing substance and was able to push the Conway granite aside due to pressure. Child: 5 & under - 0, 6-11, 2, Non- Resident 6-11, 3 When park is unstaffed during the season, please deposit payment in Iron Ranger (self-serve paystation).Checks can be made payable to Treasurer, State of NH. Small basalt dikes were driven up along the cracks after the fractures developed. Park Office: 60 Day Use Fees: Adult: 12 and over 4, NH Residents age 65 and over 0, Non-Resident 5. As the granite cooled, it was split up by closely spaced vertical fractures that ran almost parallel in a northeasterly direction. The Conway granite that formed the Flume's walls was deeply submerged in molten lava over 200 million years ago during the Jurassic Period. The same storm carved out the gorge and created the Avalanche Falls. An intense downpour in June 1883 triggered a landslide, which washed the boulder away.
The rock stood 3 meters tall and 3.6 meters long. A massive egg-shaped boulder sat hanging between the walls at the time. She had difficulty persuading her family of the incredible find, but she ultimately encouraged others to come and see it. The Flume was found by chance in 1808 by a 93-year-old "Aunt" Jess Guernsey while fishing. Brief History And Formation Of Flume Gorge The average annual relative humidity is around 72%, with a wind speed of 8km/h. On average, Flume Gorge gets 546.1mm of precipitation each year, with June reporting the highest number. The average yearly temperature is 6☌, with July and January recording the highest (19☌) and lowest (-8☌) average temperatures, respectively. My trusty lab will always make sure that IF there is an imperfection, that it is never in a very significant part of the image.All metal prints will arrive with a float mount (no frame, and will appear to slightly "float" off the wall), ready to hang.*** Please note: Matte paper will make prints appear darker.According to the Köppen climate classification, Flume Gorge experiences a humid continental climate with warm, wet summers and cold, snowy winters. This is just a part of the charm and will only add to the uniqueness of the product. Please note: Metal prints will occasionally include small imperfections. My goal is to provide you with a work of art that you can enjoy for years and to have a happy customer, so if you are not satisfied in any way, please contact me and we will find a solution. Please note the finished product will arrive without the watermark.įor Metal Prints please allow 2-4 for production.
These prints are all waterproof, UV resistant, eco-friendly, and recyclable! White Base Metal is printed on a white base so that the colors are vibrant and really pop.Ĭlear Base Metal prints are printed directly on a sheet of aluminum with a clear coating, so that the lighter and white areas of the image will show the raw aluminum.īoth White Base and Clear Base are available in a Gloss or Matte finish. This listing is for one fine art Aluminum Metal print of water rushing through the gorge at Franconia Notch State Park in New Hampshire. Location: Franconia Notch State Park, New Hampshire
