Swiss Alps, Jungfrau

Crisp, cool water comes down from snowmelt and glaciers high up in the alps to create streams, rivers, waterfalls, and lakes of the purest quality

The Swiss Alps hold 6% of Europe’s water reserves, feeding rivers such as the Rhone and the Rhine

Since 2000, about 40% of the glacier mass of the Swiss Alps has disappeared due to climate change - most in recent years at an accelerating rate
