Description
This panorama shows a broad, snow-covered glacier descending through a high alpine basin near Riffelberg and Riffelsee in Zermatt, Valais. Dark rocky slopes frame the glacier, while a green, rocky hillside and narrow footpath form the foreground beneath broken clouds.
Story
Captured in July 2008 from approximately 2,801 metres, the image looks across a high alpine basin toward a broad snow-covered glacier with visible crevasses, ridges and blue-gray ice patterns. Dark rock faces frame the scene, while a green, rocky hillside and narrow dirt path occupy the foreground. Diffuse daylight, broken cloud cover and small patches of blue sky give the panorama a natural, finely detailed appearance.
