2020 - Swiss Alps Glory - Aletschgletscher and Konkordiaplatz
There are places on earth where the landscape is so large and luminous that it is difficult for humans to embrace the dimension of what they see. This is the case for the region at the heart of the Swiss Alps between the cantons of Bern and Valais. At its centre lies the Konkordiaplatz, a crossroads of glaciers that is difficult for people other than experienced mountaineers to reach.
Why and who gave the name to this rare place has almost certainly already been lost in history. Why was this place chosen to represent the harmony of peoples? Because it is almost impossible to reach?
The Konkordiaplatz is visible on the right side of the image. Behind it, the Mönsch the Eiger, and the Jungfrau, three mythical summits. This region is pure and unfettered glory !
