EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the majestic peaks of the Bernese Alps, a husky sled dog team boldly ventures onto the Jungfraujoch, or 'maiden saddle,' in the early 1920s. The Jungfraujoch is a glacier saddle, situated between two major peaks: the Jungfrau and the Monch. This breathtaking location, on the upper snows of the Aletsch Glacier, straddles the boundary between the cantons of Bern and Valais, halfway between Interlaken and Fiesch in Switzerland. The husky sled dogs, with their keen eyes and alert expressions, eagerly await the command to embark on their icy journey. Bundled up against the chilly mountain air, their muscular bodies exude strength and determination. The sleek husky sled, with its intricately carved runners, stands ready to glide effortlessly over the snow-covered terrain. The Jungfraujoch, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renowned for its unique alpine landscape, which includes the longest glacier in the Alps, the Aletsch Glacier. The area's pristine beauty and challenging conditions have long attracted adventurers and explorers, making it a popular destination for those seeking a thrilling and unforgettable Alpine experience. This photograph, taken in the 1920s by Grenville Collins, transports us back in time to an era of adventure and exploration in the Swiss Alps. The husky sled dog team on the Jungfraujoch encapsulates the spirit of the Alps, showcasing the raw power and resilience of both man and beast as they face the challenges of the rugged mountain terrain.
