Taken inside the glacier atop Jungfrau, one of the main peaks in the Bernese Alps in Switzerland. The map shows the location of the Ice Palace – on the left – and the rail station, the highest in Europe, both inside the mountain. The other photo is taken in the tunnel leading from the rail station.

It’s actually quite a complex they have in the ice palace and the rest of it, with the rail station, shops, restaurant etc – it’s quite large.

I saw a post today that said something like “It is impossible to be angry when looking at penguins.”

At first you had me stumped Robin and I thought you were perhaps, losing it … perhaps. Then I realized the ice carvings were penguins. 🙂

Wow I never knew this existed, it must have been fascinating, and cold?

Fascinating, yes, but no not cold – some had jackets on. I did take only mincing little steps though, in fear of slipping but even outside on the glacier it was only cool.
