This is part II of the tale of two prehistoric oceans and the chosen rock. Aaranya has already found three eclogite sites, so she needs to leave Yukon's Quiet Lake study area and return to the Frazden school in Lapland.

She is reviewing some research papers and a 1969 Whitehorse Star article to prepare a draft about the second SARtastic beast. This is an unwieldly beast because it manifests as an unfathomable problem as well as an ongoing field solution. It belongs to the MeriMies and MeriMetso houses, which makes its provenance as difficult to nail as the protolith of the eclogites that Aaranya is learning about.

From the last episode, we know that Paracelsus switched a key ingredient of the resurrection stone before handing over the clues about the deathly hallows to his friend, the founder of the Leaky Cauldron.

Aaranya figured out this switch in the last episode, but she cannot seem to understand why she must review the geology of the Frank Slide in southern Alberta when her study site is in the Yukon. What can the permanent scatterers in SAR interferometry reveal about the eclogite protolith?

Aaranya is thinking about her best friend of 16 years, whom she last saw at the Mission Ridge Animal Hospital in Alberta. She is listening to her favorite singer-songwriter (Kate Wolf) to ease the pain and continue with her research on the second SARtastic beast.

Aaranya is referring to the following resources:

• Geology of Quiet Lake and Finlayson Lake map areas (Tempelman-Kluit, 2012)


• Fires Ravage The Yukon - Faro Gone, Maybe Pelly (Whitehorse Star, 1969)


• Frank Slide: One of Canada’s Largest Modern Rockslides (Alberta Energy Regulator)


• An excerpt in French about the Frank Slide on page 438 (chapter 17) from the book Notions de géologie (4 ed.) by Bruno Landry


• Monitoring landslides and volcanic deformation from InSAR techniques (Singhroy, Ohkura, Molch, and Couture, 2004)


• Characterizing and monitoring rockslides from SAR techniques (Singhroy and Molch, 2004)


• Frank Slide a century later: The Turtle Mountain Monitoring Project (2005)


• Mapping Millimetre-Scale Ground Deformation over Frank Slide, Turtle Mountain, Alberta Using Spaceborne InSAR Technology (Mei, Poncos, and Froese, 2008)
