Aletsch: The Last Giant

  • Madlen Cinema 18 Auerstrasse Heerbrugg, SG, 9435 Switzerland (Map)

More than 10 years ago, the renowned Swiss photographer Jürg Kaufmann began photographing Swiss glaciers. During countless glacier hikes and expeditions, he has taken his time to build up an impressive collection of glacier photographs.

"Glaciers serve as a giant thermometer for our planet; they mercilessly reveal the consequences of climate change."

The climate is changing; scientists and the media remind us of this every day. We can see the effects at the glacier tongues, but what does it look like further up?

Jürg Kaufmann takes us onto the glacier, which is changing slowly but steadily.

Rivers, crevasses, snowfields, glacial calving—a natural system that remains almost untouched. A multimedia show packed with unique footage of the Alps’ largest water reservoir: our Aletsch Glacier.
