Switzerland Sasso Rosso - Vedretta di Fellaria Orientale
It's amazing to be close to this glacier, it makes you feel so small. Unfortunately is quickly dying. If you have the chance to stay a bit longer you can see entire blocks of ice falling over the lower vedretta.
Photography Tips
Be aware the weather can change very quickly in mountains, be prepared! Remember: is not a good idea to carry a carbon fiber tripod during a thunderstorm, especially at this altitude with no trees. Always with you in the backpack: water bottle, raincoat, headlamp, knife, dried fruits and nuts etc.
