The Great Aletsch Glacier is one of Europe's largest glaciers, winding over 14 miles through the Swiss Alps.

And it's vanishing rapidly.

Andreas Vieli, a professor heading a team of glaciology experts at the University of Zurich, recently told Reuters that the Aletsch Glacier could lost 90% of its ice before the end of the century from warming temperatures.

To make sure this majestic, vast river of ice is not forgotten, Switzerland-based news photographer Denis Balibouse took these gorgeous photos of the Aletsch Glacier.

Enjoy.
