The main page for the trip has photos and some narrative etc.
To hear a recording, just click on a link. To download one, right-click and select a "download" option. They are not professional quality by any means, but hopefully give you some idea of the natural symphony.
Each recording lasts approximately 20 or 30 seconds. Thank you...
| Recordings | "mp3" format (smaller files, about 200-600 kBytes each) | "wav" format (larger files, about 2-6 MBytes each, slightly higher quality) |
| Taken from video: there is more background noise but also more of the ambience, particularly you can hear the echo across the loch. There's a bit of birdsong as bonus: | vid-1 (mp3) | vid-1 (wav) |
| vid-2 (mp3) | vid-2 (wav) | |
| Taken from phone: these capture more of the very varied character of the noises of the ice sliding, cracking and breaking: | phon-1 (mp3) | phon-1 (wav) |
| phon-2 (mp3) | phon-2 (wav) | |
| phon-3 (mp3) | phon-3 (wav) | |
| phon-4 (mp3) | phon-4 (wav) | |
