    About the Book

    Edit

    "So blau wie gar nichts in der Welt" ist ein Buch über eine Gletschereishöhle am Fuße des Stubacher Sonnblicks in den Salzburger Hohen Tauern. Im Laufe einer Schitour im Jänner 2015 war ich zufällig am "Unteren Eisbodensee", einem periglazialen Eisrandsee, vorbeigekommen. Über dessen zugefrorene Oberfläche konnte ich die Höhle betreten und das alte, tiefblaue Eis über mir und rund um mich herum bewundern. Ich hatte so etwas noch nie zuvor gesehen und war begeistert! Das Gewölbe aus Gletschereis besaß die Erhabenheit einer Kathedrale und löste in mir ein ehrfürchtiges Staunen aus. Faszinierend war auch die Struktur seiner Oberfläche. Das in zahlreichen Blautönen schimmernde Eis war durchzogen von keilförmig zulaufenden Spalten und Schichten von Kies. Mit Bedauern musste ich im darauffolgenden Herbst feststellen, dass „meine“ Höhle nach dem ungwöhnlich heißen Sommer zur Gänze eingestürzt und geschmolzen war. Was bleibt sind die Bilder die ich aufnehmen konnte. Das Buch beginnt mit einem Vorwort in deutscher und englischer Sprache.

    "As blue as nothing else on earth" is a book about a cave inside of a glacier in Salzburg. In January 2015 I undertook a ski tour on the Stubacher Sonnblick, a mountain in the Austrian Alps. There I discovered an ice cave at the foot of a glacier. In summer, the glacier calves little icebergs into a lake, which float about in it, gradually melting. In winter, the lake is frozen. At this time it is therefore possible to observe the glacier tongue at close hand. Thus I was able to access the ice cave via the lake and admire the ancient, deep-blue ice above and around me. In September I hiked to the glacier another time. Regrettably I determined that the huge cave had completely collapsed and melted away during the very hot summer. What remains are the pictures I could take. The book starts with a preface in german and english.
