Postcard from Engadin

Switzerland, / Lukas Spieker

A postcard from Engadin in Switzerland’s canton Graubünden (Grisons). I wanted to bivouac but chickened out… The sunset at the tarn would have been worth it.

Morteratsch glacier in the Bernina range of the Swiss alps. The glacier has shrunken greatly in size over the last decades. The ongoing melting of the glaciers has led to dramatic changes in the alpine landscape and will likely lead to more floods and water shortages as the eternal ice is melting due to climate change.
