View on a stone frozen in water. Camera zooms out and tilts and what used to look like floor is now a ceiling. A ceiling of an ice cave. Beautiful blue shapes of frozen ice are forming the ceiling. Water drips everywhere. There is a small waterfall on the left. People walking inside, taking pictures. Floor is not ice, but wet rock. Camera pans to the right to show the entrance to the cave.

Gathered in these beautiful surroundings, it is nevertheless hard to ignore the large (and rapidly increasing) effects #ClimateChange has on mountainous regions.

Just across the Jungfrau from is the #Aletsch, the biggest glacier in the #Alps and probably the best illustration of these dramatic changes:
