Jungfrau, September Silence

The Jungfrau north face in early September snow, with glaciers descending the north wall partly veiled by drifting clouds, seen from the Bernese Oberland. Fine art photograph by Jürg Kaufmann.

Jungfrau, September Silence

eptember draws the first veil of snow across the Jungfrau, sharpening the summit against an autumn sky while the northern glaciers — the Giessen, the Rottal, the ice beneath the Silberhorn — descend in steep, fractured cascades toward the Lauterbrunnen depths. Wisps of cloud drift across the flanks, half-concealing the seracs, lending the face a quality of slow revelation. From the Oberland, the north wall rises more than three thousand metres in a single gesture of rock and ice. Unhurried, immense, certain. A landscape that does not ask to be admired — it simply remains.
