Jungfrau, by Arnab Pal

This photograph was taken on the way to “jungfrau”!! Its a german word which means virgin. It is one of the main summits in the Bernese Alps, situated between the cantons of Valais and Bern in Switzerland. The train into the mountain leaves from Kleine Scheidegg, which can be reached by trains from Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen via Wengen. Before arriving at the Jungfraujoch, it stops for a few minutes at two other stations, Eigerwand and Eismeer, where passengers can see through the holes excavated from the mountain. This magnificent journey from Kleine Scheidegg to Jungfraujoch takes approximately 50 minutes including the stops; the downhill return journey taking only 35 minutes.
