Distinguishing ice-rich and ice-poor permafrost to map ground temperatures and -ice content in the Swiss Alps Robert Kenner1, Jeannette Noetzli1, Martin Hoelzle2, Hugo Raetzo3, Marcia Phillips1 1 WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF 5 2 University of Fribourg, Department of Geosciences 3 Federal Office for the Environment FOEN Correspondence to: Robert Kenner ([email protected]) Abstract. A new countrywide permafrost distribution map of Switzerland is presented, indicating ground temperatures and ice content. The new representation of ground temperatures is achieved by distinguishing ice-poor and ice-rich permafrost in 10 the modelling process. There is a very significant correlation of ground temperatures with elevation and potential incoming solar radiation in ice-poor and ice-free ground. The distribution of ice-rich permafrost was defined by modelling mass wasting processes and the integration of snow and ice into the ground caused by them. This dual approach allowed a clear improvement in the cartographic representation of permafrost-free elevational belts which are bordered above and below by permafrost. The reproduction of such commonly occurring permafrost gaps allowed a higher mapping accuracy and 15 unambiguity of the mapping zones. Permafrost occurrence is represented by two clearly defined classes: Zone 1 representing modelled ground temperatures and zone 2 indicating excess ground ice outside of zone 1. 58% of 92 validation sites could be definitively classified as having permafrost or no permafrost.

  • Sir John Herschel and the Breithorn
    298 SIR JOHN HERSCHEL AND THE BREITHORN • SIR JOHN HERSCHEL AND THE BREITHORN BY CLAIRE ELIANE ENGEL HERE is a tradition according to which the Breithorn was first climbed in 1813 by a completely unknown Frenchman, Henri 1 • • Maynard and later by Sir John Herschel. F. F. Tuckett inci- dentally mentioned the fact that Sir John Herschel had told him he had ascended the Breithorn from the Theodul in 1821 ; Tuckett had never heard of Maynard.2 Lord Minto, who went up the mountain in 1830, called it Monte Rosa and said, it was the summit ascended in I822 by Sir' John Herschel. 3 His authority vvas either Sir John himself, or J oseph-Marie Couttet who had been the first guide of both parties. Coolidge accepted 1822 as the date of Herschel's climb.4 According to Tuckett, no Zermatt guide had ever reached the summit before him, in June 1859. · Now it is obvious that there is some missing link in this story, and I • • endeavoured to find it. Thanks to the great .kindness of the Rev. Sir John Herschel, the astronomer's grandson, I am able to give the com­ plete story of the second ascent of the Breithorn by Sir John Herschel in 1821. His travel-diaries are kept in Slough Observatory House, the family seat, and his grandson allowed me to read them and to have his drawings photographed. I found a few more details in Sir John's letters to the Genevese astronomer Alfred Gautier vvhich are kept in the Bibliotheque Publique et U niversitaire in Geneva.

Photo: Mike Roberts The Matterhorn is undeniably the most magnificent and well-known peak in the Alps. Its bold pyramidal shape evokes emotions of wonderment and even fear in those who view it for the first time, as its four distinct faces stand omnipotent and menacing over the green meadows below. Separated by sharp ridges, the four faces are orientated to the four points of the compass, the northern aspects within Switzerland while the southern side lies in Italy. We ascend via the Hörnli Ridge that separates the rich heritage adds to the superb facilities, including North and East Faces via a long and technical route catered huts and lift systems offering services not requiring the utmost attention from climbers.

  • The Matterhorn Centenary
    TI-IE MATTERHORN CENTENARY THE MATTERHORN CENTENARY BY B. R. GOODFELLO'IV (Five illustrations: nos. 50- 54) DWARD WHYMPER must have appreciated in his lifetime that his ascent of the Matterhorn and his own dramatic account of the ............. disaster had added immeasurably to the glamour of that incom­ parable mountain. So he must have realised the great contribution which he made personally to the greater prosperity of the people of Zermatt; they have long acknowledged this and the centenary was closely linked with Whymper"s name. But he could scarcely have foreseen the impact of to-day's mass affluence, of the rise of ski-ing and of universal publicity on the Alpine village he had known first over 100 years ago. We had all expected for some years that the centenary of the Matter­ horn ascent would be used by Zermatt for publicity on the grand scale. With the true mountain lovers' distaste for the prostitution of the Alps for commercial ends, many decided to keep away in 1965. But by doing so they missed a great occasion. For, although the Festival Week was unashamedly dedicated to Zermatt propaganda, the whole of the func­ tions were conducted in the very best of taste. Above all Zermatt, for this week, was the meeting place for mountaineers from all over Europe and from America, India and further afield. Enjoying the warm and generous hospitality of our Swiss hosts, we made many valuable new friendships and renewed old ones. The Alpine Club came in some strength, more than fifty in number, many with their wives and some with their families.

  • 1 Tydzień = 5 X 4000 M Npm
    1 tydzień = 5 x 4000 m npm Pomysł na tygodniowy wyjazd alpejski zapadł jeszcze w czerwcu. Głównym celem na 7 dni w Alpach dla mnie i Marcina stał się Weisshorn (4505 m). Szczyt trudny do zdobycia ze względu na wysokość i odległość podejścia z „bazy”, czyli wioski Randa zlokalizowanej przed słynnym ale nieco niższym Matterhornem. Pomysł zainteresował także szersze grono wspinaczy naszego KW. Jednak skład wykrystalizował się tuż przed terminem wyjazdu i ostatecznie do Randy udali się: Marcin Miczke, Maciej Przebitkowski. Radek Sołtykowski i ja – Jacek Wichłacz. Termin: 8 – 16.08.2012r. Czyli tzw. długi weekend. Już następnego dnia, po rozbiciu namiotu na campingu w Randzie udaliśmy się na wyjścia aklimatyzacyjne. Z braku miejsc w schronisku wyjście do Weisshornhutte musieliśmy przesunąć do soboty. Razem zatem - czyli w czwórkę - wjechaliśmy kolejką na Klein Matterhorn i tu nasze drogi nieoczekiwanie się rozeszły. Jak się potem okazało na 5 dni. Marcin i ja postanowiliśmy wejść na Roccia Nera (4075 m) i jak czas pozwoli na kolejny czterotysięcznik - Polluxa (4092 m). Maciej i Radek mieli pomysł aby wejść na coś lekkiego np. na Castora (4228 m) , przespać się dla lepszej aklimatyzacji w najbliższym schronisku Quintino Sella (3587 m.n.p.m.) i wrócić w tempie wypoczynkowo-spacerowym do Randy następnego dnia. Zgodnie z założeniami nasze aklimatyzacyjne wejścia dokonaliśmy na 2 wytyczone 4 - tysięczniki prawie bez chwili przerwy (nawet nie było czasu na zjedzenie drugiego śniadania). Ale skończyłyby się to o mało co „ kiblem” na stacji kolejki. Na jej ostatni zjazd zdążyliśmy 3 min. przed odjazdem w dół. O mały włos a aklimatyzacja Marcina i moja trwałaby o noc dłużej i to w warunkach dość ubogich.

  • Trip Factsheet: Monte Rosa Climber Zermatt Zermatt Is a Charming
    Trip Factsheet: Monte Rosa Climber Zermatt Zermatt is a charming alpine village. It is car-free and reached only by a 15 minute train journey from the valley station of Tasch. As you would expect given its location it is one of Europe's main centres of Alpinism and is a bustling town in both winter and summer. The town is at 1,650m/5,420ft. Zermatt is in the German-speaking section of Switzerland. English (and French) are widely spoken. For further details on Zermatt click on the Zermatt Tourism website at www.zermatt.ch/en/ Monte Rosa (4,634m/15,203ft) Monte Rosa is the second highest mountain in the Alps and the highest mountain in Switzerland. The Monte Rosa is known in German as the Dufourspitze. It is in the Monte Rosa massif which is a range that lies on the border between Switzerland and Italy and is made up of several summits over 4500m, including Nordend, Zumsteinspitze, Signalkuppe and Ludwigshohe. Monte Rosa is located in the Pennine Alps (at 45°56′12.6″N, 7°52′01.4″E), 12kms east of Zermatt. It was first climbed in 1855. We usually ascend Monte Rosa over a 3 day period via the West ridge - the route is graded AD. The ascent begins from the Monte Rosa Hut which is accessed via the Gornergrat railway and a 2 hour trek. Summit day is a long, steady climb with 1800m of ascent to the highest point, called the Dufourspitze. There is a short grade 3 rock section and ice-slopes up to 40 degrees.
