Description
We've walked all along the lake (with a length of about 6 km) and we've reached now our end-point, the glacier feeding this lake. Time for a good lunch while we can look around here and enjoy this rugged landscape. It's not cold here, and we're still on the altitude of 1909 m (6263 ft).
The Unteraargletscher (Unteraar Glacier) is covered with rocky debris. Somehow a part of this glacier has melted and now the remaining ice forms a genuine bridge. The ice is compact and you can even walk over this bridge that is about 3 meters (10 ft) high.

Judging by the terrain, it's not an easy walk in this rugged Landscape. Enjoy your lunch. Aloha

a bit scary here. dunno why. but i'm scared to walk over it. i think it's that pit. looks like i could fall in. that black shadow...see something under there, hiding. and in the foreground, one of those rocks has big teeth and and evil eyes. you said it's not cold here. then why am i shivering? i don't want to eat lunch here. i just wanna get far away from this place. it's a great image, Jan-Carel, and i love stones and the textures but i guess i just have a bad feeling here. you captured a highly charged place here and this one evokes intense emotions.

This is a scene you'd expect to see on the moon!! Be careful those rocks look very slippery and dangerous! Very amazing capture of natures own architecture. Remarkable =)

My eyes don't understand anything : I can't see no bridge ... Beautiful lunar landscape though.

Beautiful in its starkness. Great capture.

I like the idea of an ice bridge, but I would not trust my 100kg frame to even 3 metres of ice, Jan-Carel. This resultant terrain, left by the passage of a glacier, is so much sparser, than some of the morane left in Scotland. But then the 'Highlands', are not really that high, are they, in comparison to the Alps?
