Fantastic view from the top of the Gornergrat glacier. There are some later pictures that give a better sense of size to this. One thing I really wish we would have had time to do is hike out to Monte Rosa hut. You actually walk across the glacier (using carefully marked out "safe paths"). The Monte Rosa hut is on the bluff just to the right of the little emerald lake. Monte Rosa itself (Alps 2nd or 3rd highest at ~4634m (15,203 ft) is just behind. To the right is the scary North face of the Liskamm, also one of the highest in the Alps.
The front edge of the glacier. If you closely 3/4 of the way across and down, there are two people standing at the edge of the cliff overlooking the glacier valley.
