Rocky Snow-Covered Peak

Jagged granite cliffs and snow-scoured slopes form a rocky escarpment that the crippled DC-3 narrowly skirts during its emergency descent. Flames and trailing smoke from the burning engine cast flickering shadows across the sheer face as the cockpit fills with looming rock; the inflatable life raft tumbles out, inflates, and bounces off outcrops. Moments later the aircraft slams into the mountainside and explodes, ending aerial flight and leaving survivors stranded in frozen isolation.
