The image is of the privately owned Similaun Hut mountain refuge that sits on the border of Austria and Italy in the Sud Tyrol being a popular base to climb the Similaun mountain but also for visiting 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.
