On top of Jungfraujoch.. Got to stop

Around that area is the most glaciated part of the Alps, containing Europe's largest glacier and a range of classic glacial features such as U-shaped valleys, cirques, horn peaks and moraines. It provides an outstanding geological record of the uplift and compression that formed the High Alps. The diversity of flora and wildlife is represented in a range of Alpine and sub-Alpine habitats and plant colonization in the wake of retreating glaciers provides an outstanding example of plant succession. The impressive vista of the North Wall of the High Alps, centred on the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau peaks, has played an important role in European art and literature.

Oh never been here or seen a sign like this but I woulden't go behind this spot - glad you stopped as well - thanks for sharing this fine view.

It looks dangerous, but interesting shot. Keep up the good work
