Snow-Covered Slopes on the Bay

Looking southwest from the peak of Mt. Daruma (982 m/3,221 ft), we can see northern slopes of nearby mountain ranges where sunlight is unable to reach the landscape and melt the snow.

Further out, rays of sunlight stream through a break in the clouds lighting up a patch of Suruga Bay–the deepest bay in Japan with a maximum depth of 2,500 meters (8,202 ft).
