Photo: Side view of part of the Jungfrau complex and the nearby glacier

A view of the structure at Jungfrau. Jungfrau is a mountain resort, built high in the Alps, in the midst of ice, snow and rock, and allows tourists a place to enjoy being in such an environment in relative ease (a comfortable train journey is all it takes). This is a view of a part of the building, as well as the rock, snow and glaciers in the surrounding area.

There is a truly spectacular train journey that one gets to see when one starts on the trip from Interlaken to Jungfrau in Switzerland. The train starts from normal green covered land to a place where you get into mountains, rocky, ice and snow covered cliffs. You can see something similar in this photo of the transition, where you start to see the towering mountain tops.

Photo: Rugged rock and snow covered mountain on way to Jungfrau

A view of blue skies and the rugged snow and ice covered rocky peaks on the Alps towering to these blue skies. This is one of the great views that one gets while on the way to the mountain resort of Jungfrau in Switzerland.

Photo: Railway lines mar the view of snow capped mountains on way to Jungfrau

When you get a great view, and have a nice camera in your hands, the itch to capture it a photo is incredible. But sometimes you are faced with situations where your photo will have glitches, such as this photo where the is a whole network of electric train lines that were obscuring the view. On second thoughts, I decided that this photo would make a perfect example of the coexistence of technology and nature.

Photo: Greenish tinge from the sculptures inside the Ice Palace in Jungfrau

These are sculptures made of ice inside the Ice Palace (ice tunnel) at the Swiss mountain resort of Jungfrau. Varied sculptures, they looked very beautiful with a greenish tinge all around (the light being greenish because of the ice all around us). I always wondered as to how they ensure that the ice remains, and if this tunnel is a part of a glacier, how can they ensure that there is no movement of the ice.

Photo Blog: Empty tunnel inside the Ice Palace at Jungfrau

The empty ice tunnel inside the ice palace at Jungfrau. This is an ice tunnel apparently built inside a glacier in Jungfrau, and is a popular tourist attraction. I had to wait for some time to be able to get a photo where there was no one in the photo. The ice (and it was several inches thick) gives a strange light effect to the photo.

Photo: Distant view from the glass windows at the Eiger station on the way to Jungfrau

On the way to Jungfrau, the train passes through a track dug through the mountain, passing through rock. On the way, there are several stations, with a small view point, some restrooms and a small walk to stretch your legs. The view from this station, called Eiger, is spectacular. You can see the tops of hills nearby, showing the height at which you have already reached.

Cogwheel train halting at the Eiger station in the tunnel leading to Jungfrau

The train halting at the Eiger station in the tunnel leading to Jungfrau in Switzerland. This is the final section of the journey, and this is the 3rd train. This section is a cogwheel train, with the train passing through a tunnel built through the rock of the mountain. The area outside the tunnel is all ice and snow.

Beautiful scenery with hills turning from green to snow capped

A beautiful photo of a journey to Jungfrau, the journey was so beautiful with some incredible sceneries. In the same photo, you can see the ice line, where the greenery ends on the hills, and moves to the ice line higher up on the mountain. Such a photo was very captivating.

The beautiful 14 mile long Aletsch Glacier at Jungfrau in Switzerland

When you reach the Swiss mountain station of Jungfrau, you get a great view of the 14 mile Aletsch glacier, a river of ice nestled between 2 mountains.

Greenery and ice capped mountains on the way to Jungfraujoch

While on the way to the Swiss mountain resort of Jungfrau, the surroundings change from a green habitation to above the snow line, where greenery does not exist, and instead, you have rocky mountains with ice and snow, and no greenery. This photo captures both sections of the environment.

Photo: A view of the ice and snow covered mountain next to Jungfrau

A view of the snow and ice covered rocky mountain right next to Jungfrau. Jungfrau is a Swiss resort located high up in the mountains, with peaks visible right next to it. Less of greenery, and more of the snow and ice is visible from this location.
