        Morteratsch - Leben & Sterben eines Gletschers

        Bilder, Gedichte

        by Viola Käumlen

        Fifteen years ago Viola Käumlen entered into theextensive cave system of the Morteratsch Glacier. The encounter with a completely unknown world inspired the author to write a series of minimalist and haunting poems. Today the extensive caves don't exist anymore, the glacier melted and retracted for many kilometers. Together with the pictures that the author took back then, an elegy for a dying glacier was created - an encounter with finitude and a call not to let climate change happen without a fight.
