Glacier World
In this room the glaciers, the icy giants, take centre stage.
While they may appear idle and almost stagnant, in reality they are formidable landscape architects. The diverse surface shapes in the Hohe Tauern, which bear the signature of the glaciers, are presented. The striking juxtaposition of the ice masses‘ mesmerising beauty and the eerie threat is also showcased. Glaciers also provide almost endless material for research, inspire stories and legends and harbour microscopic life. The diverse aspects of the Glacier World reveal themselves to visitors in both sight and sound.
