Picture of Aletsch Glacier

Photochrom 1471 Aletschgletscher mit Jungfrau.
Two gents clearly enjoying the view over the Aletsch Glacier in southern Switzerland. The Jungfrau is the name of the mountain massif that feeds this glacier. It is a Unesco World Heritage site and even today (with climate change and all) it still covers 120 square kilometres.
For a recent photo taken from almost the same spot, check out Wikipedia.
