| Kliene Scheidegg. From here I take the Jungfraujoch train to the top. In the distance you can see the Eiger (3970m). The Jungfraujoch train will go up a tunnel that is bored right through the Eiger Mountain! | |

| The Jungfraujoch train makes two stops inside the Eiger Mountain on its way up to the Jungfrau. This stop called the Eismer (3160m) has a window. From this window I took this picture. Glaciers everywhere. |  |

| I am entering the ice palace at the top of the Jungfrau. This little palace is carved from a glacier. Notice the blue ice? |  |

| The ice sculptures are incredible. |  |

| Behind me is the Jungfrau (4158m). Tallest mountain in the Bernese Oberland. President Roosevelt climbed this mountain in the early 1900's. |  |

| After leaving the train station I take a little hike to the foothills of the Monch. Lots of people snow skiing or climbing mountains. |  |
|

| I am about to reach the Monch cabin. |  |
|
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
| I am at the Monch cabin and I am pointing at climbers about half a mile away. |  |

| A picture of the Monch behind me. To my left at the bottom of the cliff is the cabin I visited. Now I return to the Jungfraujoch for the 1 hour descent to Kliene Scheidegg. |  |
