WI_ch033_517.jpg

Morning view from the slope of Plattjen in W direction to the Mischabel massif with the Feegletscher. The main summits are from left to right: Alphubel (4206 m), Täschhorn (4490 m), Dom (4545 m), Lenzspitze (4294 m, Nadelhorn, 4327 m, right behind), and Ulrichshorn (3925 m). Note the horseshoe-shaped complex of terminal and lateral moraines in the lower right centre of the picture, most probably dating back to the maximum of the Little Ice Age in the mid 19th Century.
