At over 3,000 meters in the Alps, a retreating glacier exposes flowing sediment lines shaped by centuries of pressure and movement. These natural curves reveal the glacier's slow transformation, forming a fragile record of time and erosion. As ice recedes, the landscape shifts from mass to memory, leaving behind structures that speak quietly of change.
