Adventures Across the Aletsch Glacier: A 1930s Alpine Expedition (silent, 1930s)
This 1930s film documents an adventurous journey through the snow-covered peaks and glaciers of the Swiss Alps, particularly the Aletsch Glacier, the longest glacier in Europe. The expedition features breathtaking panoramas of snowy mountains, huskies pulling sleds, and travelers navigating the icy terrain with skis and sticks. Highlights include the majestic Jungfraufirn departure, encounters with ice walls, and moments of camaraderie among the group—men, women, and even dogs working together to traverse the alpine wilderness. Stunning visuals of rugged landscapes, dynamic sled rides, and quiet reflections by ice walls and lakes encapsulate the timeless allure of the high mountains.
