Obers Ischmeer Glacier, Swiss Alps. View from the Jungfrau Railway over the accumulation area of the Obers Ischmeer Glacier glacier. Wide crevasses (lower left) have opened due to longitudinal extension of the glacier ice. In the accumulation area successive snow layers are gradually transformed into glacier ice. In the background is the prominent Schreckhorn peak (4078 metres) near Grindelwald, Swiss Alps. Photographed in August.
