An enormous piece of the Swiss Bernese Alps (the size of two Empire State Buildings) is about to fall off ...Thanks to global warming.
The East face of the Eiger mountain is cracking at great speed and in the next few days is expected to come crashing down. There is a live webcam of the North face here..It is called the Jungfraujoch.
Clint Eastwood's The Eiger Sanction was a film about trying to find an assassin, while on a climbing expedition on the treacherous Eiger.
The North face has ended the lives of over fifty climbers, and is considered one of the most challenging climbs known.
The Schilthorn is a sister mountain to the Eiger, and houses the Piz Gloria revolving restaurant that was featured in the Bond film ' On Her Majesty's Secret Service".
