It will be stored in a bergschrund, a natural crevasse between rock and ice. |
I reach the bergschrund in less than an hour, only to find that I've miscalculated. |
The bergschrund may be invisible in winter if snow covers it, but summer melting usually brings it out. |
Pumping turn after exuberant turn, I drop to the south side of the mountain until I'm looking straight down into the gaping bergschrund. |
We hurried on and managed to get across the bergschrund before the last rays of sunlight left the summit of the Jungfrau. |
On arriving, we explored a crevasse and examined the bergschrund at the top. |
