Another wonderful image from the "Glaciers Online" web-site -- this is the accumulation area of the Monte Rosa Gletscher in the alps. Click to enlarge. There are a few ski tracks here and there. But note the phenomenal amount of accumulation here among these high peaks -- this is the snow and firn that finds its way down-glacier under gravity and eventually gets transformed into glacier ice.
The amazing colour on this photo is natural -- this is the after-glow that occurs immediately after sunset. What a beautiful world.....
