Still Waters Posted November 21, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 21, 2012 These spectacular ice caves deep below a Swiss glacier have been mapped, photographed and surveyed for the first time. A team of eight descended into the moulins – vertical shafts – below the Gorner Glacier near Zermatt in October. Their work inside the remarkable icy caverns will help researchers get a better understanding of glaciers and their rate of melting. http://www.dailymail...er-Glacier.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
