7x21 cm each

Tisms - a geological ailment: cataclysms on a minor scale, often as slight tremors in a mountain causing an unnoticed avalanche, where the quiet vibrations underground result in an insignigicant shifting of superficial snow.
Generally an affliction of mountains of a nervous disposition.
eg. "What was that?" says one mountaineer to another, after feeling quiverings underfoot.
"Oh, the mountain just has tisms, is all."
