Incredible images as one of the oldest glacier in the Swiss Alps are protected from melting - by covering it
Experts say that the Rhone glacier has retreated in the last 150 years. they want to avoid the fact that the exposed areas less rapidly melt. The glacier is at least 11,500 years old and is very sensitive to climate changes.
It was the challenge to all of us. I have put myself on the glacier and took away a lot of time to document from different angles the photos on the one hand, on the other hand extract the art of nature with creative perspectives.
