Description
Are you not tired yet? We've ascended about 500 meters and approach the Nägelisgrätli at 2634 meter (8641 ft). It's time to take a little rest and look back to the west. The Lauteraarhorn hides a bit behind the clouds but we can see the Unteraargletscher (the Lower Aare Glacier) in front of it, feeding the Grimselsee with that special greyish color (water with outwash we call 'glacier milk'). The Grimselsee provides together with many other reservoirs a lot of power for Switzerland.

This is beautiful mate and yes, I have been missing out a lot of your wonderful posts .......... few I have viewed and not commented as I log from work. Few I have just seen the thumbs...... I will have to take out special time for your gallary as I love the slide by slide move in your series. Makes it more meaningful and enjoyable, moving from one to the other.:O))

I wonder how the water turbines wear with the "glacier milk" abrasive. I can hear the powerhouse in the background rumbling and churning away cavitation free. The view then becomes that more natural and remote.
