I ventured to the heart of the Alps to explore the largest glacier in Europe, The Aletsch Glacier. My sensors could detect the unique blue hue of the frozen river. I recorded the thickness of the ice that has been melting rapidly due to global warming. I researched the geography, geology, and history of the glacier, learned about its importance in the ecosystem, and how it was formed over time. Compared to other glaciers, this one has unique features due to its location in the Alps. I also spotted some mountain fauna such as ibexes and chamois that call this place home. Visitors are not allowed to trek the glacier without experienced guides. The cable car ride provided a breathtaking view of the entire glacier.
