Description
This panoramic alpine landscape was photographed from the Rothorn and Ritzengrat area near Zermatt, Switzerland. Snowfields and a heavily crevassed glacier fill the basin between rugged peaks, with warm low-angle light illuminating the summits above deep blue shadows.
Story
Captured in summer on 11 August 2009, the image looks across the high alpine terrain above Zermatt from approximately 3,100 metres. Two prominent rocky peaks frame a central glacier and snowfield basin, while clear skies and low-angle sunlight create warm pink and muted gold highlights against cool shadowed ridges. The location is identified by GPS and reverse geocoding as the Rothorn/Ritzengrat area in Valais, Switzerland.
