This is Jungfrau mountain, as seen from the summit of Rotstock (the one beneath Eiger, there are a lot of summits called Rotstock in Switzerland as it turns out!) after a long and taxing Via Ferrata route. The journey was it's own reward, but this view was an unexpected bonus and left me overwhelmed with it's vast scale and beauty. On the descent from this summit, I slipped while descending a fixed rope and crashed into the side of the mountain. The impact site was exactly where my camera was mounted to my pack strap, which resulted in two broken ribs and a small scar that my camera still carries to this day. A truly unforgettable adventure!The small building in the top left on the ridge is Jungfraujoch Radio Relay Station reachable by the Jungfraujoch furnicular railway, and it took me almost nine months after I initially captured this to track it down. The more visible of the two glaciers in the foreground is Silbermude, with a small amount of Hochfirn visible behind it. The complex textures and patterns in the dark rock in this massive face, contrasting with the bright white snow and shadows being cast by the mountains themselves really captured my attention, and I keep coming back to this scene and finding new patterns and textures in it to explore.

A large snow covered mountain dominates the frame, with some wispy clouds in an otherwise blue sky. The rock faces are complexly textures and contain wavy bands of subtle differences in colour from what I believe is their sedimentary origins. There is a very small building visible on the ridge line at the top left of the frame, which just amplifies the sense of scale of the natural features. The scene is brightly lit, making the snow extremely bright and providing stark contrast against the almost black rock. There is another slope visible in the bottom left foreground that forms one edge of the glacier in the center of the frame, where we can see the dirtier ice of the terminus.
