Alpen-Panoramen, Panorama der Alpen

This time I virtually take you inside a mountain: specifically, inside the Grigna Settentrionale. Here there is one of the largest underground carsic system of the Europe. One of these cavities, the "Ghiacciaia di Leonardo", or "Grotta del Moncodeno" or "Giazzera" is probably the famoust. Known since Leonardo da Vinci's time (he visited it personally, I'm guessing him rappelling..), it presents a beautiful complex of ice sculptures, that reaches its best in spring. Probably this day was too early, only few sculptures were present, but new ones growing were visible.

A 360° pano from down here is complex, starting from the acces, the cramped slippery place and for the poor light inside. I have to study a better illumination too, for the nex time.
