Dissolving funnels
Credit

Description
Gypsum, or hydrated calcium sulphate, is a highly soluble rock that dissolves easily under rainfall or snowmelt. When gypsum dissolves, it reveals funnels where the snow lingers, which further accentuates the dissolved rock and enlarges the funnels. Several of these whitish lunar craters are visible around the trail that leaves Lac de la Partie.
