Liskamm sits at the head of the Grenzgletcher and, of the peaks visisble from Gornergrat, only Weisshorn and the twin peaks of the Monte Rosa massif - Dufourspitze and Nordend - are higher. Liskamm has two peaks, one to the east and one to the north-west. This image shows the eastern ridge and peak, which is the higher of the two, at 4,527 metres. The border between Switzerland and Italy runs along the ridge line.

Shot on Fuji Velvia ISO 50 using a Nikon F5 and an AF 300mm f4 lens.
