Story

Photographed from an elevated slope on Furkastrasse, this wide horizontal panorama looks across the Upper Rhône valley near Gletsch in the Swiss canton of Valais. The river divides into pale channels across the green valley floor, leading toward steep gray and green mountain slopes, pointed peaks and a broad glacier or snow-and-ice-covered rocky area. Bright daylight, scattered clouds and detailed terrain make the image suitable for landscape, geography, alpine travel and environmental editorial use.
