Gorgeous photos of a rapidly vanishing natural wonder that could be gone before 2100

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.
