What's the best thing you can do on a hot summer day in Switzerland?? Head to the mountains and explore the last ice giants! That's what I did a few weeks ago... I drove to canton Valais and met the beautiful Rhône Glacier! What a remarkable wonder of nature! And a very refreshing experience 😉 • • • Canon EOS 5d Mark IV + 24-70mm 24mm f/13 1/640sec ISO200 • • #rhoneglacier #furkapass #valais #switzerland #exploretocreate #roamtheplanet #artofvisuals #moodygrams #exploremore #passionpasport #myswitzerland #lifefolk #feelthealps #beautifuldestinations #postcardplaces #lifeofadventure #fotonline_es #rsa_main #thewanderco20k #visitswitzerland_summer #topswitzerlandphoto #pursuepretty #chasinglight #canonespaña #athomeintheworld #thewanderco #inlovewithswitzerland #lifeforthestory @visualsoflife @roamtheplanet @ourplanetdaily @stayandwander @livefolk @earthpix @earth @helvetic.collective @thewander.co
It's amazing how the landscape changes around the Matterhorn in just a few kilometres... close to the melting Theodul Glacier, you feel like you could be in Mars, with the milky light blue water dripping from the glacier and the reddish rocks of its bed. Have a great Sunday! 😊 • • • Canon EOS 5d Mark IV + 24-70mm 24mm f/13 1/800sec ISO100 • • #matterhorn #zermatt #valais #switzerland #exploretocreate #roamtheplanet #artofvisuals #moodygrams #exploremore #passionpasport #myswitzerland #lifefolk #feelthealps #beautifuldestinations #postcardplaces #lifeofadventure #fotonline_es #rsa_main #thewanderco20k #visitswitzerland_summer #topswitzerlandphoto #pursuepretty #chasinglight #canonespaña #athomeintheworld #thewanderco #inlovewithswitzerland #lifeforthestory @visualsoflife @roamtheplanet @ourplanetdaily @stayandwander @livefolk @earthpix @earth @helvetic.collective @thewander.co
Did you know that the Matterhorn is not the highest peak in Switzerland? Actually, the highest peak is the Dufourspitze (Monte Rosa), 4634m high!! Matterhorn is 4478m, but more famous because of its shape and was one of the last Swiss peaks to be climbed. Here in this photo is the Dufourspitze, with the remains of the Gorner and Grenz glaciers at each side. Any plans for the weekend!! I wish you a great one!! 😊 • • • Canon EOS 5d Mark IV + 24-70mm 70mm f/11 1/1000sec ISO100 • • #gornerglacier #Dufourspitze #zermatt #valais #switzerland #exploretocreate #roamtheplanet #artofvisuals #moodygrams #exploremore #passionpasport #myswitzerland #lifefolk #feelthealps #beautifuldestinations #postcardplaces #lifeofadventure #fotonline_es #rsa_main #thewanderco20k #visitswitzerland_summer #topswitzerlandphoto #pursuepretty #chasinglight #canonespaña #athomeintheworld #thewanderco #inlovewithswitzerland #lifeforthestory @visualsoflife @roamtheplanet @ourplanetdaily @stayandwander @livefolk @earthpix @earth @helvetic.collective @thewander.co
Glaciers are strong and powerful. They can break, split and grind the stone and rock, transforming the landscape as they move slowly, very slowy... but they are also weak and vulnerable... the sun and the heat are defeating them, making them melt and shrink until they disappear... 😕 Here is a photo of the bed of the old Furgg glacier, right at the east side of the Matterhorn. Here you can see the devastation glaciers leave at their step. All this landscape used to be covered by an ice river until a few years ago! • • • Canon EOS 5d Mark IV + 24-70mm 24mm f/14 1/400sec ISO100 • • #matterhorn #zermatt #valais #switzerland #exploretocreate #roamtheplanet #artofvisuals #moodygrams #exploremore #passionpasport #myswitzerland #lifefolk #feelthealps #beautifuldestinations #postcardplaces #lifeofadventure #fotonline_es #rsa_main #thewanderco20k #visitswitzerland_summer #topswitzerlandphoto #pursuepretty #chasinglight #canonespaña #athomeintheworld #thewanderco #inlovewithswitzerland #lifeforthestory @visualsoflife @roamtheplanet @ourplanetdaily @stayandwander @livefolk @earthpix @earth @helvetic.collective @thewander.co
