Konkordiaplatz, Glacier confluence at 2700 meters in Valais, Switzerland.
Four major glaciers merge at Konkordiaplatz, creating an expansive ice formation that extends over two square kilometers at high altitude.
The name originates from the Latin word Concordia, as British explorer John Frederick Hardy compared this glacial junction to Place de la Concorde.
The Konkordiaplatz Charter, signed by local municipalities, maintains protection standards within the Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage site.
The Konkordia Hut on the western slope of Gross Wannenhorn provides accommodation for mountaineers exploring the glacier system.
The ice thickness at this confluence point reaches 900 meters, making it one of the deepest glacial formations in the Alps.
