Entrance To A Glacier’s “Palace”. The entrance to the “ice palace” deep in a glacier high up in the Swiss Alps at the Jungfraujoch, near the top of the famous Jungfrau peak. The “palace” is an intricate system of tunnels, long passages, big halls, little rooms -- all of the gleaming blue-white ice. Even the furniture in the rooms is carved from ice.
