Of all those who have been to Zermatt, how many have seen water pouring over the Gorner gauge? This was a cloudy day. The day before it was hot and water was pouring over.

This was 4 hours before peak diurnal discharge! This summer ablation season will see more mass lost from glacier than ever before.

Look how the water pressure is impacting on the concrete wall…

Every hour, on the hour, something unique happens

Every hour, on the hour, something unique happens in Bern: medieval figurines appear from the Zytglogge (Clock Tower). The dancing bears, the cheeky fool and the crowing rooster have been a joy for the public every day for centuries. But who knows what they represent, how the mechanism works, and which stories are hidden behind the strong walls of the clock tower?
