Furkapass east ramp - Hotel Belvedere

Furkapass east ramp - Hotel Belvedere
The famous Hotel Belvedere (1882) is situated inside a serpentine of the Furkapass road. Behind the hotel you see the tongue of Rhone glacier, the origin of river Rhone. Where you see a glacier tongue here is blank rock now. - scanned slide, Minolta X700

pass no. 25 - Furkapass (2436 m), Switzerland - day 5

The lateral moraine is quite high. I looked at google maps, a lot happened since 1997. Where the glacier tongue was, is now a big lake.

A great image, but it's so concerning to see all the glaciers in retreat from global warming.
