It lies over the northern flanks of Gemsstock above Andermatt. One part of the glacier is covered up with a sheet which should prevent the glacier from melting. The sheet was used in May 2005 the first time. The mountain station Gemsstock, 2963 meters above sea level, is built on permafrost ground. Some years ago the station was renoveted whereby cavities had to be filled with concrete. The further melting of the permafrost can strongly prejudice the stability of the mountain station in the next years.In original language:Gletscherfolie am Gemsstock ob AndermattAndermatt, 28. Juli 2005: Die Folie wurde am 10. Mai 2005 zum ersten Mal aufgezogen.Die Bergstation Gemsstock (2963m) ist auf Permafrostgebiet gebaut und wurde vor einigen Jahren renoviert, wobei Beton in die entstandenen Hohlräume eingespritzt werden musste. Das weitere Abschmelzen des Permafrostes wird die Stabilität der Bergstation in den nächsten Jahren verstärkt beeinträchtigen. © Greenpeace / Jonas ScheuLocations:Alpine Countries-Europe-SwitzerlandDate:28 Jul, 2005Credit:© Greenpeace / Jonas ScheuMaximum size:4876px X 3293pxKeywords:Buildings-Climate change-Climate change impacts-Cold-Day-Glacier melt-Glaciers-Global warming-Ice-KWCI (GPI)-Mountains-Nature-OutdoorsShoot:Climate Campaign Glacier Gurschenfirn in SwitzerlandThe Glacier Gurschenfirn is situated in the canton Uri in Switzerland.
