It's the largest glacier in Europe. It stretches for 23km and is part of a UNESCO heritage site in the Jungfrau area of Central Switzerland.
It is set amoung some of the most stunning high alpine scenery.
A PlanetSKI reader has drawn out attention to a feature about it on swissinfo.com that we thought you might want to look at too.
It makes fascinating reading.
Below are some pictures taken while we were ski touring there a few winters ago.
For the spirit of the mountains
