Glaciers, Geology & History – An Expedition Through the High Mountains
Description
The vast plains at the foot of "Her Majesty," the Wildspitze (3,768 m), speak of the immense power of glaciers. Mighty moraine walls, idyllic glacier lakes, and rock slabs smoothed over millennia shape this impressive landscape.
