On our last day in the Wallis, we decided to take a cable car up to the
Eggishorn. From this point, you can see
Konkordiaplatz, where three smaller glaciers melt together to become the Aletschgletscher. (I'm really not sure how you decide where one glacier ends and another begins, but apparently
Konkordiaplatz is where this happens.)

Dad and I took the short, stiff hike up to the real Eggishorn to get a better view. At the top, it really felt like we were in a fishbowl of the Alps- they made a complete ring around us, and we were high enough to see all around us. It was probably the most beautiful place I've been (although competition is getting stiffer by the minute).
