![]() cookieless, no-ads, no threats canyon exploring with Michele Angileri Fosso di Iaccio Porcelli
![]() Although it runs through the same environment as the very close
Fosso di Iaccio Piano, the Fosso di Iaccio Porcelli is quite different, overall more open and steep but paradoxically with less
waterfalls. It is also much more subject to avalanches that create snowfields that remain until the beginning of summer.
  I remember ...Autumn here would be the most rainy season of the year, but it's not always so. It is some years that autumns are so dry that even the streams of Laga Mounts are going to lose their water. In these dry autumns temperatures may jump from winter to summer in a couple of days: yesterday there was snow and ice at 1500 meters ASL, tomorrow the burning sun at 2000 m ASL will let you complain for having left home your shorts and second bottle of water. The day we explored Iaccio Porcelli had cold wind blowing fast from the north. Sky was of intense blue, sun was blinding
the eyes but soil was frozen, and so would probably be the cascades of Iaccio Porcelli. That might have made our
descent very problematic.
