A snap shot of the kids "gazing" down vally to Gletch
(not very visible but in the 3rd " top window"
on the rail in front of the kids)
on the west side of Furka Pass at 2400m
This is where the river Rhone starts it's journey to the
Mediteranian Sea
On the eastern side the melting glacier gives "birth"
to the river Rhine
Above is a photo of The Rhone Glacier from 1857
taken from Gletch and up. Where the glacier start
cascading over the edge and down the vally is the level of
wher the kids are sitting looking down. You can just about
see the road to the right on the old photo, leading up to
where the Hotel Belveder was built in 1882
Here is the glacier with the Belveder Hotel
so still a lot of ice after 1882
This is what it looks like today, no glacier
I know, this was supposed to be about a LO,
but a reminder to us all about global warming
and how visible it is :(
Back to the LO, a few close ups

Scarecrow
The Wild Ibex(Wild goat) was bought
at the Furka Glacier shop
