Mt. Kurodake’s northeastern face

Mt. Kurodake received more snow this year than last year. However, the weather has been warm these past few days and the snow is melting quickly.
The photo on the left was taken today, while that on the right was taken on June 1 of last year. As can be seen in the photos, melting is progressing much faster this year than it did last year.
