Dramatic mountain images in monochrome of Becher Haus and the Uebeltal Ferner glacier as it was in 1968 looking towards the peak of Botzer in the mountains of the Stubai Alps that straddle the border of Austrias and Italy and the Alps of the Sud Tyrol. Becher Haus is famous inasmuch its proper name is Kaiserin Elisabeth Haus, Sisi, The Reluctant Princess, wife of Emperor Franz Josef, mother of Crown Print Rudolf. The hut and glacier are also the crash-site of a USA B29 Liberator bomber that crashed on the glacier just a few days before the end of WWII.
