Livecam movies

Two livecams maintained near Grosser Aletschgletscher, the biggest glacier in the Alps, not only offer spectacular views all year round, but can also be used to make remarkable time lapse movies which illustrate glaciological processes not easily observed otherwise. The movies are in QuickTime format; 3 speeds are provided because different types of processes will be evident. The cameras are operated by WetterCam24.ch, and we kindly acknowledge permission to present archived imagery here.

Slow movie - 8 frames per second
medium movie -16 frames per second
fast movie - 32 frames per second

This livecam is located in a cable car station close to the summit of Eggishorn (rocky peak on the right). To generate the movie the images were cropped to show the lower left part only.

This livecam shows Konkordiahütte, maintained by the Swiss Alpine Club, and the confluence of three tributary glaciers, Aletschfirn, Jungfraufirn and Ewigschneefeld (f.l.t.r.), the so-called Konkordiaplatz.
