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 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 at 4527m (14,852 ft).
