Ice needles, Unter Grindelwald Glacier. Photographer: Edwards, Ernest
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
Mounted facing p. 27. View of massive ice needles on the Lower Grindelwald Glacier: 'The séracs formed at any given point will usually be again compressed into a comparatively smooth and uniform mass in the subsequent course of the glacier: but when such a formation takes place low down, and no return of a gentler inclination causes them to disappear, the blocks of ice gradually waste away, and assume a pointed shape, not so fantastic perhaps as some of the forms to be seen among the névé, but even more beautiful, from the greater transparency of their substance. Of these 'spires of ice' a specimen may be seen in the accompanying illustration, one among hundreds of similar groups to be seen on the Unter Grindelwald Glacier' (p. 27).
