  EO Newsroom: New Images - Jungfrau and Interlaken, Switzerland
The Bernese Alps form the centerpiece of this late summer view of Switzerland; Jungfrau (J - 4158 m), Moench (M - 4089 m), and Eiger (E - 3970 m) are among the higher peaks of the Central Alps.
North of the range is the city of Interlaken, flanked by the Thune See and Brienzer See (lakes); the long, straight-segmented valley of the Rhone lies to the south.
On the southern flank of the Jungfrau massif is the Aletsch glacier, meltwaters of which feed the upper Rhone; another source is the Rhone glacier at the eastern end of the valley.

For the functioning of the mechanism, it is sufficient that the bird is able to see sections of the starry sky.
His account of this important aspect of modern ornithology is amish, mash of gen- eralized and somewhat inaccurate information that fails to mention why or how birds are banded, how records are kept and processed, or what use can be and is being made of the resulting data.
The direct and immediate effects of particular acts of predation are evident enough to the farmer, the sportsman, and the wildlife research man who see them taking place from day to day, and rarely agree upon their interpretation.

Set between lakes Thun and Brienz (Thuner See and Brienzer See), beneath the north side of the 13,642-foot Jungfrau mountain, beautiful Interlaken, literally "the town between the lakes," is one of Switzerland's oldest and most popular summer vacation resorts.
Because Interlaken lies on the less forbidding slope of the high mountains of the Bernese Oberland, it has developed as the principal gateway to this stunning alpine region.

The river you see is gray because it is fed by glacier run off and is colored by the ground up rocks.

Having missed so much the Filipino cuisine, (unlike most of you out there, I am a bummer when it comes to cooking Philippine cuisine...) hence, I feel like I have not eaten in several decades each time my sense of smell is alerted of the cooking aroma that father is making up in the kitchen.
Nevertheless, I am so happy to see him like this rather than before, when mom, my sisters and I were constantly nagging him to eat more.
You see, the three days that the local authorities would wait for the issuance of the required travel document is already a big help to the Filipino being detained.

The BSWB deemed this to be the most direct and cheapest route but its decision was later to prove costly and eventually resulted in near bankruptcy for the company and the line under threat of closure.
