Norwegisches Raum-Zeit-Kontinuum
Als skifahrender Physiknerd sind mir beim Skitourentrip in Norwegen die Begriffe Raum und Zeit in den Sinn gekommen. Klar ist, dass sich Raum und Zeit in Nord-Norwegen gefühlt anders verhalten und sich mit ein bisschen physikalischer Phantasie das Norwegische Raum-Zeit-Kontinuum aufstellen lässt…
Soweit die Füße treten
Tilmann Waldthaler fährt seit mehr als 40 Jahren mit dem Rad durch die Welt. Er kann und will nicht anders, angetrieben von der stetigen Lust auf Neues. Am Ende ist es eine lange Reise zu sich selbst.

Europe, a continent viewed as the centre of the universe is, in fact, an offshoot of Asia. Great Britain, former centre of the world’s largest empire, lies on the outskirts of Europe. The Old Forge, a pub on Scotland’s Knoydart peninsula, can only be reached on foot or by boat.

The Story
OK, it’s the most famous glacier in the world. You can’t expect solitude here; every fifteen minutes a busload of tourists is released in the direction of the viewing platforms. And yet the sight of the Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia with its 4-km wide and 60 m high escarpment has something touching, something incomprehensible about it. It is a natural spectacle that takes your breath away and that instinctively describes the relationship between man and nature. Humility and tranquil joy of existence seizes every viewer.
The Photographer
Ralf Gantzhorn was born in 1964, holds a M.S. in Geology – and has even worked as a geologist (as an independent consultant in the contamination sector). He has been climbing since 1983 and working as a photographer since 1985. As a northern German, he is always torn between the far too distant mountains and the fresh sea air, but he’s found a compromise in Scandinavia, Scotland and Patagonia (where he has now spent over three years). He enjoys organizing trips in areas where unfamiliar vistas – which haven’t already been photographed 1000 times – lure from every corner. He often experiences his images as far too static, but then is pleased with the abundance of triangles in the structure and the fantastic light.

The picture was taken on the summit of Marmolada after an ascent of the Vinatzer/Messner on the south wall. We didn’t reach the summit until 10:00 p.m. so we bivouacke (planned) there. We woke up to this riot of color …
