Glacier In Swiss Alps

An optical illusion gives you an impression that glacier is not that big. Take a look at the left corner of the image to see the drive way in mountains just couple of kilometers :-) below the point where shot was taken. The scale of this natural wonder then becomes obvious...


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Dima, local authorities were so much fed up with collecting and disposal of bones of brave skiers at this glasier, that they cut all ropes on the skylift. So, the only option to get there is paragliding, but count for strong winds at 4 km altitude...

Cool icy river, wanna to ski there, but where is the lifts?
Beautiful landscape with neat colors and well exposed both shadows and highlights!

Glacial highway with an Edelweiss signature. Elegant! Pity those glaciers are disappearing. My vote!
