The massive earthquake that shattered Pakistan on October 8, 2005, was centered in the steep mountains of Kashmir. Communities already hard to reach because of the treacherous mountain topography were cut off entirely when landslides slumped over roads. The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this image of one such landslide on October 11, 2005. A large wedge of tan soil stretches more than 2 kilometers in length and over 1 kilometer in width along the side of the mountain in the center of the image. All vegetation, red in this image, is gone in the landslide region. A number of smaller landslides are also visible, mostly along the main river and other valleys.

Going by the above landslide image, can you spot more such patterns? Post them to this post, may be you can name them after the nearby town names. Any experts on the board to verify them as landslide or not?

I have added road and airport placemarks in this thread, check this post
