Jungfraujoch Sphinx Observatory - Top of Europe Swiss Alps Photography
The Sphinx Observatory crowns the summit of Jungfraujoch at 3,571 meters, its silver dome and research platforms perched impossibly atop a snow-covered rocky pinnacle in the Swiss Alps. Known as the "Top of Europe," this is the highest permanently staffed research station on the continent and one of the most dramatic man-made structures on Earth. Against a flawless deep blue alpine sky, the observatory clings to its frozen throne like a fortress of science above the clouds where astronomers, meteorologists, and glaciologists work year-round in conditions that few humans could endure.
