About 50 people set out on foot from the Swiss village of Fiesch at
dawn on July 31. As the sun rose over 13,000-foot Alpine
peaks, the procession moved slowly up a mountainside and into the cool
of a pine forest, stopping at a tiny church.
“Glacier is ice, ice is water, water is life,” intoned priest Toni
Wenger, before beseeching God to stop the glaciers high above them from
melting.
