The image is of mountaineers climbing the Similaun mountain from the Similaun Hut refuge that straddles the Austrian-Italian Border with the Sud Tyrol made famous as the mountain is close to the memorial to Oetzi The Ice-Man who was found frozen in time on the Tisenjoch on the Austrian-Italian border with the Sud Tyrol in September 1991, his body reputed to be 5300 years old. Oetzi was carefully removed to take pride of place in the Alpine Museum in Bolzano.
