Mountain stream and fog at Glen Coe, Scenic Area in Scotland, United Kingdom, Europe.

Mountain stream and fog. Glen Coe is perhaps the most scenic and historic valley in Scotland. It is traversed by the River Coe and the A82 road, in the north of Argyll, close to the border with Lochaber. Glen Coe is the remains of an extinct supervolcano (erupted 420 million years ago during the Silurian period), one of the best examples of subsidence calderas. Heavy glaciation ending 10,000 years ago carved the U-shaped valley. The 1692 Massacre of Glencoe happened near Glencoe village at the foot of the valley. Glen Coe is part of the designated National Scenic Area of Ben Nevis and Glen Coe. This image was stitched from several overlapping photos.
