Ok, a little more unusual. I took this pic last year on the Morteratsch glacier in the Bernina Range (swiss alps). The ski run down the glacier was just opened (depends on the snow conditions), and the trip constituted the most scary 1.5 hours in my life. The picture is of high resolution and shows the glacier from a less common perspective with a wave-like crevasse structure. Some trails by animals and skiers hint the scale and provide a tiny foreground (intentional! in case someone wanted to crop or photoshop...). The exposure turned out quite well (with room for sparkling highlights in the snow, check full size). It's a >10 frame panoramic.

  Weak Support Edit 1. Nice but would have preferred if the mountain tops weren't cut off (or is this not possible?) --Fir0002 23:01, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
