- Reason
- Imposing 5,000 ft (1,500 m) cliff above Mud village, Spiti, explored by Ferdinand Stoliczka in the 1860s. Studying exposed cliffs, he discovered the Mudh formation, a geological stratum that runs from Kashmir through Spiti to Nepal and named it after this remote, insignificant village. Mud consequently has attained global renown in geological circles disproportionate to its small population and remote location. This is the lead image in the Geology section of the Mud village article.

- Comment – certainly good EV and good description in the article, a remote location and probably hard to get to, but it doesn't look sharp (at full size), not sure the technical quality is there for a contemporary photo of a static scene. Bammesk (talk) 16:32, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
