Medial Fold Close, Vassar Glacier, AK, 1997

When looking at layered features it is possible that apparent folds or other changes in bedding orientation result because the face of the surface intersects the layers at different angles. Is that the case here? If not, trace the features and determine the direction of stress applied to the dark bands to produce the observed features. More of an overview.
