    Jungfrau in 2004, nice one Varasc. Wonder how far back the ice is now?

    Here is a very old shot of the Rhone Glacier taken when we were staying in Gletsch - lots of ice.

    Fantastic, Alpha, great peak. Sadly since 2003 our glaciers started a bad regression trend... :-(

    Unfortunately the pace of decline has really moved at some pace, maybe weird but I used to love just listening to the sounds of a glacier :)
    You can all probably tell you have got me started - well Switzerland is pretty much the home of our hobby/disease - an old snap from the ski slopes of Crans Montana and a rather nice inversion.
